Description
Gender-lens investing is not new, but it has evolved. More than funding women-led ventures, gender-lens investing has become foundational to social finance policy, funding frameworks and implementation. The gender-lens investing workshop will host an in-depth exploration of recent developments, tensions, challenges and inspiring solutions. It will also offer a sense of the recent and anticipated growth in GLI, highlight what to expect in the next five years, and how to get involved in the gender-lens investing landscape.
Hosted online.
