Hosted by FinEquity and and Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), this webinar introduced the WE Finance Code and provided insights from CGAP's experience on how leveraging sex-disaggregated data can foster an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.

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 workshop gave us the opportunity to dig into a few resources featured in our recent Gender Data and Analysis Guide. We were joined by the Financial Alliance for Women, a network of financial organizations dedicated to championing the female economy, advocates for focusing on the women’s market by quantifying the market opportunity and financial benefits for financial service providers in, Global Business Case Tool for Financial Services Providers. We also heard examples of how good gender data and analysis can help FSPs to understand the women’s market and to understand whether they are achieving product goals related to outreach and usage.

In this event co-hosted by CGD, Data2X, and FinEquity, we launched an initiative to identify and test a core set of WEE indicators for financial inclusion.

Join us on April 14, 2021, from 8:30 until 9:30 am EDT, to learn more about what we have been doing in the last quarter. You will also have the opportunity to network during this event.

While mobile phone access is a strong influencer of digital financial services amongst women, barriers to usage are often less clear.
