Achieving gender parity for development is a key objective of the Bank for which enhanced access to finance and technical support for upskilling women led businesses is paramount. In addition to its internal efforts to drive this critical agenda through the gender department and aligned thematic funds, the Bank works in collaboration with external partners to ensure a singleness of purpose for maximum impact.
The Bank has received Technical Assistance funding from the Women Entrepreneurship Finance Initiative, We-Fi, to implement the ADFI WSME Program Enhanced Access to Finance Leveraging Data and Technology in five target countries namely; Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and Mozambique. The program aims to leverage technology and data, tools that have transformed and accelerated inclusion in Africa, to support women businesses build resilience and improve overall efficiency, as well as work with financial service providers and the broader financial ecosystem to design responsive solutions.
