Meeting innovators where they are: A framework for advancing women’s inclusion in startups across low- and middle-income countries

Resource thumbnail

Drawing on its experience supporting startups across low- and middle-income countries, the GSMA Innovation Fund has developed a practical framework for turning commitments to women’s inclusion into action.

Meeting Innovators Where They Are explores how women’s inclusion can be embedded into existing processes, adapted to where businesses are starting from and supported by effective measurement. It shares the Fund’s framework and lessons from putting it into practice, offering insights that other funders and organisations supporting startups can consider in their own programmes.
