WWB - Women's World Banking
Women's World Banking is the global leader in women's financial inclusion. Rooted in our deep understanding of the women's market, we tackle financial inclusion in three interconnected ways: first, by partnering with financial services providers to develop scalable market-driven solutions; second, through our gender-lens private equity fund; and, finally, because diverse institutions are proven to be stronger, we build institutional capacity through leadership and diversity programs. Through this holistic approach and our global reach of 49 institutions in 31 countries, we accelerate economic opportunity for low-income women and growth for financial service providers in the emerging markets.
Innovations in the microfinance program planned for the coming year
Women's World Banking will continue to expand its influence, producing more services and tools to bolster women's financial empowerment in underserved and often overlooked areas. The NGO will be piloting and scaling up programs in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia, amongst our other current priority markets. Since greater gender financial inclusion requires proactive and skilled management, it will also be expanding its leadership and development programs, helping women reach higher levels of influence at both the household and organizational levels. Last but not least, Women's World Banking is pioneering innovative solutions to the barriers of financial exclusion, taking full advantage and harnessing the power of global technological gains.
