This webinar builds on MSA’s work supporting the Arab Women’s Enterprise Fund (AWEF) to stimulate increased women’s economic empowerment through a market systems approach. Funded by the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID) and working in Jordan and Egypt, AWEF has been one of DFID’s flagship women’s economic empowerment programmes and the first to innovatively apply a market systems development approach to enhance women’s participation in markets.
Speakers share emerging lessons and results on the unique AWEF approach from the Practitioner Learning Brief, Making Digital Finance Work for Women in the MENA Region. This webinar summarizes practical learning on embedding new models and practices that change how market actors engage with and empower women as consumers, producers and workers.
