Beyond Money: Savings Groups as a Platform for Addressing Root Causes of Gender Inequality

The potential of savings groups goes beyond money. While they are widely acknowledged to increase incomes and promote women’s individual agency, they can also be an effective platform for greater gender equality beyond women as individuals.

Drawing on collective insights and examples from projects across 10 countries, this learning report focuses on the role of savings groups in addressing systemic gender inequities in markets. The study aims to inform and inspire those working with savings groups around the globe with examples of how community savings programs can be a platform for women to build power in all areas of their lives and lead their communities to prosperity.
