Making Finance Work for Women Podcast Highlights IPA Research Publications on Women’s Economic Activity

In an episode of the Making Finance Work for Women podcast, Sonja Kelly from Women's World Banking spoke with Paul Adams (Director, IPA's Financial Inclusion Program) and Daniela Graney (Program Manager, IPA's Entrepreneurship & Private Sector Development Program) to explore what it really takes to design credit products that meet the needs of women entrepreneurs. From psychometric testing in Ethiopia to mobile loan disbursements in Uganda, this conversation dove into the data and innovations driving a more inclusive financial future. The discussion drew from IPA's recently published evidence syntheses on designing credit products to support women's economic activity and understanding the impacts of savings groups on women's economic activity.
