Across the the globe, financial services providers are increasingly recognizing the importance of gender-intentional product design. This webinar was aimed at unpacking success in design and implementation of gender-intentional financial products tailored for women in Africa. Participants gained insights into what makes a financial product truly effective for women, while learning from real-life case studies and expert analysis from FSD Mozambique and CGAP.

This webinar introduced the concept of economic abuse against women and girls, discussed a working definition, and provided insights from work by Grameen Foundation, Surviving Economic Abuse UK, and IFC in this sector.

Testing a Common Set of Indicators

Policy and Women’s Financial Inclusion for Women-SMEs

On March 14, FinEquity Africa had its first Annual Convening in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The event was co-hosted with FinEquity Africa’s three knowledge partners, Graça Machel Trust (FMT), the Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Network, and Digital Frontiers Institute (DFI).

This webinar discussed the development of a core set of indicators to measure Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) within financial inclusion (FI) programs and initiatives to help stakeholders better understand the outcomes of FI on women. 

This dynamic webinar gave us a chance to hear from the participants of our CoLab as they share lessons learned about how to diagnose gender norms, their findings and how they plan to use these findings in their own effort to advance women’s financial inclusion and economic empowerment. 

Determinants for Access to Finance for Women in Business

During this session you will hear from WEE-FI experts on the challenges and opportunities they face in not only closing the gender gap in financial inclusion but driving active usage of a range of financial services that might support women in gaining more trust, agency and control over their financial lives.
