Project activities include: (1) working in partnership with communities and local organizations to address constraints related to using financial products and services by women and youth to increase productive investment in businesses owned by this population; (2) working closely with community-based financial institutions to eliminate constraints on accessing financial products and services; and (3) providing state actors with technical support to make gender equality strategies more coherent and relevant when developing, implementing and evaluating financial inclusion programs and policies.
