Turning evidence into action for women’s financial inclusion.

The aim of this work is to examine the barriers limiting women’s access to and use of financial services, and to identify which barriers are most relevant for different segments of women across markets. The research also highlights a range of interventions—“exemplars”—that address these core barriers.

A growing body of evidence shows what works. This project curates and synthesizes that knowledge, organizing research, case studies, and implementation insights so that policymakers, funders, and practitioners can more easily translate evidence into action at scale. At the same time, it surfaces critical gaps where further research and innovation are needed.

When we clearly understand what holds women back, strategies  become more effective and impact grows. This project aims to provide a clearer path forward for advancing women’s financial inclusion.
