Abstract
The report provides a synopsis of financial and employment constraints in women’s lives, a detailed summary of project activities, and a way forward for women’s financial inclusion. The research informs stakeholders on social and economic impact that businesses and various ecosystem players can create by using “gender lens investing.” It examines existing interventions against the backdrop of market challenges and explores the design of new interventions to address the gaps. The project refined a “Gender lens toolkit” to enable various stakeholders with a framework for examining existing programs and activities and how they can better align with women’s experiences.
