... In many emerging markets, in particular the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, women face some of the most significant challenges with gaining access to capital. Director for the SANAD Fund for MSMEs at Finance in Motion delves into how impact investment harnesses capital and capacity building to empower women economically.
