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 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. 

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. 

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.

With one in every three women still being financially excluded, there is increased recognition of the role that gendered social norms play in limiting economic opportunities for women.
