FinEquity Thematic Sessions

Breakout Room 1: Impact Pathways, FinEquity's thematic lead Jenny Morgan    
        
Effective and affordable financial tools are critical to women’s economic empowerment (WEE) yet measuring WEE remains a challenge. Join the discussion on how we can  collectively approach this challenge and help shape other learning initiatives this coming year. 

Breakout Room 2: Gender Transformative Solutions, FinEquity's thematic lead Nisha Singh

If you are interested in creating a gender balanced workforce, using gender analysis tools to better understand needs of women, and addressing gender norms in financial inclusion, join the conversation and contribute to the learning agenda! 

Breakout room 3: Digitally Enabled Financial Inclusion, FinEquity's thematic lead Catherine Highet

Bulk payments such as Government-to-person aid disbursements have long been seen as a way to bring women into the formal financial system. However, this often fails to happen. This session will offer a conversation around sustainable and digitally inclusive structures and practices.

Asia Pacific Regional Session
"What will people think?” - Women & Inclusive Digital Economies in Asia-Pacific

In this session, co-hosts UNCDF and BRAC will explore their learning journey in understanding how to build inclusive digital economies for women with a special focus on understanding and addressing normative constraints. They will also share important lessons and good practices in supporting women, especially women entrepreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
