Gateway Guide to Women’s Financial Inclusion
In the past two years since we published our previous Gateway Guide on the topic, numerous publications have been released which delve further into the topic of women’s financial inclusion as we continue to learn more and more. In this Gateway Guide we present you with the most recent library resources in this area - on digital financial services for women, policies for promoting women’s financial inclusion, reviews of impact evaluations on women’s empowerment initiatives, and client research on what women really want from their financial service providers.
