Bringing gender-smart asset owners and capital providers to the African continent, can prove particularly beneficial, providing them with unique opportunities for up-close and first-person insights that can better inform their work.

Andia Chakava, independent board member of 2X Global, expressed this while speaking about the 2X Global Summit 2024, the annual members’ meeting of 2X Global, the international gender finance membership network and field-building organisation.

A new certification programme designed to evaluate gender inclusion in investment, was launched from the main stage at the 2X Global Summit 2024 on September 17, marking a new frontier for gender lens investing.

The 2X Global Summit is headed to the African continent in 2024. Co-hosted by MEDA (Mennonite Economic Development Associates), this year the annual members meeting of the gender finance membership network will be held in Nairobi, Kenya between September 16th to 18th.
