dc.description.abstractThe report presents insights from interviews with women-focused enterprises, and their 150 women employees, partners and customers; conducted across India, Indonesia, Kenya and Rwanda. The study assesses the impact of such enterprises on the economic and social empowerment of women, and helps enhance the case for Gender Lens Investing (GLI) in their support. Enterprises that integrate women as employees and partners have a significant positive impact due to the livelihoods they create. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in reduced economic benefits for almost 64% of the women employees/ partners of the enterprises interviewed.en
