Until today the international community has not invested enough in matters of gender equality and this lack of financing has been a barrier to achieve the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals before 2015, and will be a barrier in order to achieve the Sustainable Developments goals from today to 2030. According to United Nations, only about 10% of official development assistance was allocated to investment in the advancement of women, but United Nations is not able to invest more without the assistance of the international community, especially the Group of 20 or the most important developed and developing countries.

There are some guides in order to foster this financing, for example in countries as Costa Rica and Sri Lanka it has been reduced the military spending and security to assign those resources to social programs, including gender equality. This is why in this document the relevance to promote sustainable development is highlighted but it requires to give priority to investments that benefit women and ensure equal wages and access to opportunities among both genders.

The objective of this research is to analyze the concept of inclusive and sustainable development, and according to the theoretical framework analyzed propose a strategy in order to promote inclusive growth, equity gender and sustainable development.
