Project Description
She Wins Climate aims to enhance investment readiness for women-led climate startups by strengthening their business models and improving access to financing, while driving job impact by protecting livelihoods from climate change and creating new job growth in emerging climate sectors. The program also seeks to build capacity of climate-focused funds to integrate gender equality into their investment strategies and to generate knowledge and raise awareness on supporting women-led climate ventures.
IFC will implement She Wins Climate project through three strategic pillars encompassing five components: (Component 1–3) Regional She Wins Climate Acceleration Programs across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Türkiye, South Asia, and Southeast Asia; (Component 4) the We Fund Climate Peer Learning Platform; and (Component 5) a research aiming at addressing knowledge gaps and raising awareness on women’s entrepreneurship in climate-related sectors.
Led by IFC, the project is being implemented in partnership with the Government of Canada through the Advancing Gender Equality, Resilience, Opportunity, and Inclusion Worldwide (GROW) Initiative, the Government of Australia, and the Government of Ireland. The Program also receives contribution from trust funds and facilities including the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) and the Umbrella Facility for Gender Equality (UFGE).
