Small Business, Big Impact: Celebrate the Global Inclusive Action Awards
Join a global virtual event spotlighting the power of gender-inclusive business in emerging markets, as we unveil this year’s Global Award winner and runners-up.
We’ll hear from judging panel members on the power of the private sector to catalyse gender equality, and why they are backing gender-inclusive business.
We’re also proud to introduce the four outstanding SMEs that made it to the top of this year’s Inclusive Action Awards Global selection (congratulations to these outstanding finalists! 🎉):
🔹Shecluded (Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa, Ghana)
🔹Vermi-Farm Initiative (Kenya)
🔹AthenaFundX (Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, UK)
🔹Kazi Yetu (Tanzania)
We will hear practical insights on how each of these organisations is harnessing innovative business models—from microfinance to agriculture—to create a transformative impact for women in the communities they serve.
