- Services - Financial and insurance activities
The project concerns the investment into a private equity fund specialising in women-focused inclusive financial institutions (global scope with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa) and financial technology.
The project aims at increasing financial inclusion in emerging markets with the goal to reduce the gender gap. The fund will make minority equity investments in financial service providers and expects to pursue a gender strategy that focuses on the financial needs of women and their participation in the staff and management of the investees. The gender lens applied to financial inclusion is intended to allow financially excluded or underserved women to access a broad range of financial services and to grow their businesses.
