Part of the World Bank Group's Gender Equality and Development +10: Accelerate Equality initiative, this webinar brought together funders and facilitators to share how they diagnose gender norms that impact women’s financial inclusion and economic empowerment in specific country contexts, and how they use these insights to shape their strategies to create a more gender-equitable financial system. 

The March 2022 special edition newsletter was a celebration of all things International Women's Day (IWD). We highlighted two new blogs as well as a guide for International Women's Day-related events throughout the month and much more.

Deep dive into the innovative strategies that fintechs used to overcome the pandemic, measures taken by the government and regulators to enable ecosystem players, and support lent from investors and accelerators. 

International funders committed approximately $58 billion to financial inclusion in 2020, a $6 billion increase from the prior year. Commitments from public funders continued to drive growth.

Ankita Singh, Research and Insights Specialist with UNCDF sat down with us to discuss designing for women, financial planning to support aging populations in EMDEs and much more.
