This webinar discussed the development of a core set of indicators to measure Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) within financial inclusion (FI) programs and initiatives to help stakeholders better understand the outcomes of FI on women. 

Our #FinEquity2023  Annual Meeting of the global FinEquity community convened by CGAP brought participants together to talk about why and how a relentless focus on women is needed in times of increasing climatic stress—women are the first victims of climate change, and they have a crucial part to play in a fairer climate transition.   

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.

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.
