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.

The plenary shares insights and research on responsible digital financial services (DFS) including research on the new consumer risks associated with DFS and the development of an ecosystem approach to responsible DFS.

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. 

FinEquity’s Catherine Highet spoke with Kiran Agarwal Todi of Ashv in India and Nirza Fumo of Women in Business (WIN) in Mozambique, discussing their use of gender-intelligent design to shape financial services to better suit women’s needs. This interactive conversation focused on the design process, iteration and adaption and measuring impact, looking at the approaches that these organizations are taking. 

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. 

This webinar recording features the launch of the third-party assessment and lean data consumer protection survey. 

Digitalization and technology are rapidly transforming women’s livelihood opportunities in various sectors. However, these opportunities are not easily and evenly accessible to all women. Women workers and entrepreneurs are having to adapt and respond to the changing economic landscape, begging  the question, “How can financial services support improved livelihood opportunities for women in this increasingly digitalized economy?” 

Financial inclusion can be a powerful tool to help the most vulnerable build resilience to the devastating impacts of climate change. This webinar (recording) looks at how financial service providers are approaching the issue of climate change with their clients.

Financial health is an emerging topic of research, advocacy and practice that aims to understand, measure, and ultimately improve the part of well-being that is associated with the financial life of individuals that we serve. This webinar examines if financial services, especially savings, contribute to the financial health of low-income clients and in what ways.

Hosted by the Digital Frontiers Institute (DFI) in partnership with FinEquity, this webinar explored our recent research on the importance of gender-intelligent design in improving women's use of DFS.
