$20B That’s the funding targeted for empowering gender-smart companies and financial institutions in the next three years. Last week on October 3, at the "Unlocking Capital, Empowering Women" event, we brought together thought leaders and decision-makers of financial institutions to introduce and form the preliminary members of a community of practice (CoP) dedicated to building a gender-smart economy in Ethiopia. This CoP seeks to attract gender-smart capital into the country by leveraging the 2X Challenge initiative. Since 2018, 2X Global has already raised and deployed more than $33B in capital for businesses that meet 2X criteria in developing countries outside Ethiopia. They aim to deploy another $20B in the next three years alone. The event informed participants about the considerable global capital available for gender-smart investing and highlighted the opportunity for Ethiopian financial institutions to attract tens to hundreds of millions of USD into the country. Renew Capital is proud to play a key role in building a gender-smart economy for Ethiopia’s women entrepreneurs.
