2X Challenge Criteria

Data and tools
Written By GenderSmart Investing Team

The 2X Challenge serves as one instrument in the DFI toolkit to direct capital towards women’s development. The 2X Challenge calls the G7 and other DFIs to collectively commit and mobilize $15 billion that provide women in developing country markets with improved access to leadership opportunities, quality employment, finance, enterprise support and products and services that enhance economic participation and access.

DFIs can use the 2X Challenge to direct capital towards women, pre- or post-investment by:

  • Encouraging investees to collect data on women employees and consumers

  • Measuring the development impact of investing with and in women, over time

  • Making a business case for investing with and in women

Fulfilling one of the five criteria makes an investment 2X eligible.
