Happy International Women’s Month! We could not be more excited to share what we have been up to.

Particularly in these challenging times, our team at Value for Women is doubling-down on our mission to create more and better opportunities for millions of women in emerging economies—as leaders, employees, and consumers.

Our team have witnessed firsthand for over 12 years the transformational impact of gender inclusion in businesses. And through our new ecosystem builder initiative, we are reaching SMEs to inspire them to take action on gender inclusion.

It has been just over a month since we launched our #SMEsForWomen campaign and our Inclusive Action Awards, which celebrates SMEs in emerging markets leading the way in gender practices. It’s been inspiring to see so many SMEs sharing their journey around inclusion.

To further discuss incentives for SMEs and share more about our cash awards, we are delighted to announce a stellar panel of leaders from Acumen, BII and our own Value for Women team, to discuss these and other topics in an informal Q&A webinar.

We would love to see as many as you there!
