NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

2X Global, the global industry body promoting gender lens investing, has launched a new certification programme – 2X Certification, at its annual summit for members, which took place in Nairobi, Kenya.

2X Certification builds on the organisation’s 2X Criteria, which were originally developed to assess investments for qualification under the 2X Challenge, an initiative launched at the G7 Summit in 2018 as a commitment by development finance institutions to collectively mobilise private sector investments aimed at improving the lives of women in developing country markets.
