Financial Solutions for Women in Rural and Agricultural Livelihoods

19 May 2022. InfoPoint Virtual Conference: "Financial Solutions for Women in Rural and Agricultural Livelihoods: Evidence and Experience"

Recording forthcoming.

Financial inclusion is a pathway to better livelihoods. DG INTPA is a member of CGAP, an inclusive finance think tank and donor consortium promoting access to finance across the world especially for the most underserved people, often women.

In this session CGAP shared insights from its research together with partners Wi-Agri and MyAgri, financial and non-financial service providers active in Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal. 

CGAP, Wi-Agri and MyAgri shared their experiences, challenges, and successes on working with women in rural and agricultural livelihoods (WIRAL) to increase their incomes and resilience, where agricultural development, digital technology, financial services, and gender intersect.
