A Landscape Report: Impact Investing with a Gender Lens in Latin America

From Value for Women (VFW). This report, written by VFW with support from the ANDE Catalyst Fund, summarizes the findings of a rapid scoping study that was conducted between October 2018 and February 2019 to capture the state-of-the-field in Latin America of impact investing with a gender lens. Through this report, VFW hopes to generate interest in the uptake of gender lens investing strategies and metrics across the impact investing ecosystem in Latin America, as well as highlight some of the work our peers in the impact investing sector are undertaking toward this end. The report culminates with recommendations that seek to provide guidance for Impact Investors and social entrepreneurship ecosystem actors on how they can begin applying a gender lens in their work.
