Boosting sustainable investment with the EU’s External Investment Plan
The EIP will boost sustainable investments and create decent jobs in Africa and the European Neighbourhood. How can women best utilise the new opportunities which will be generated by the EIP for economic empowerment and gender equality? How can they access the increased opportunities in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises financing, sustainable agriculture, sustainable energy and connectivity, sustainable cities and digitalisation? You will hear how an ongoing EU blended finance project empowers women; detailed discussions of the specific conditions within several Neighbourhood and African countries and importantly how the EIP can expand and complement traditional assistance in empowering women.
