Thought Leadership

Our research compels action by financial services providers, the industry, and policymakers. We fill evidence gaps and build on existing research to advance the state of knowledge on women’s financial inclusion and empowerment. Our current research agenda focuses on climate change, new technology, and intimate partner violence. We consider the use and usefulness of financial tools in light of these themes.
