Our Work

We offer advisory services that allow us to respond in a bespoke manner to the growing demands to integrate gender into business and investment strategies – and to help our partners achieve a greater impact on women.

We work across sectors, including clean energy, climate adaptation, agriculture and financial inclusion. We support our partners to assess, analyze and adapt practices that facilitate gender equality and inclusion.

Going beyond advisory services, we strive to amplify our impact by offering publicly available tools, knowledge and information that leverage our unique insights, learning and power to unlock greater opportunities for businesses, investors and others to have an impact on women and on gender and social inclusion.
