White paper

The business of empowering women presents a case for why and how the private sector should intensify its engagement in the economic empowerment of women in developing countries and emerging markets.

The purpose of the paper is to provide an executive summary on various topics in leadership in the broad sense as well as within the non‐profit and women’s funding arena – a scan of the potential of pursuing leadership initiatives for the Women’s Funding Network.

As the Women’s Funding Network brings together its resources to scale‐up and optimize its network of member funds, the support of emerging leaders, utilization of cross cultural and generational conversations and effective leadership development program are all at the forefront.

"Measuring Social Change Investments" builds on ongoing discussions among members of the women’s funding movement interested in better understanding various aspects of the social change around which their work revolves.
