About the Gender Impact Investment Summit
The Gender Impact Investment Summit is a robust platform that convenes stakeholders to address the gender financing gap in Nigeria. By bringing together key stakeholders, showcasing innovative models, and facilitating meaningful discussions, the summit aims to accelerate progress towards a more inclusive and equitable investment landscape.
About the 3rd GIISWith the 1st and 2nd editions of the Summit geared towards bridging the financing gap through women-centric policy advocacy, and the promotion of gender inclusive models, this year's summit marks a significant paradigm shift from advocacy to tangible action with the launch of a comprehensive Gender/GESI Roadmap. This roadmap contains concrete strategic interventions designed to dismantle the barriers faced by women-led and owned businesses, youth, and People with Disabilities (PwDs).
