Abstract

This report will be valuable for various ecosystem stakeholders including investors, women entrepreneurs, researchers, financial advisors and intermediaries, academia, regulatory agencies and government policymakers, development agencies, foundations and private sector companies who aim to promote women empowerment globally, and specifically across emerging economies. It also sets the stage for further research that will be conducted by Intellecap to design and implement interventions across the three strategies of gender lens investing; and to independently examine the correlation between gender lens investing and its impact on social and economic empowerment of the women.
