Member Training: How Impact Investors Blend with a Gender-Lens, March 25th, 2025 at 10:00AM – 11:00AM ET (7AM PDT)
This webinar will be co-hosted by Convergence and the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN). Designed exclusively for both Convergence and GIIN members, and aims to educate in an interactive format to enable cross-learnings and create meaningful connections.
As the need for data transparency on blended transactions becomes more pronounced, there is more attention being paid to the perceived risk versus real risk in emerging markets. As we witness growing geopolitical and economic shifts, some impact-focused investors are making the case for global diversification to help mitigate and manage risk whilst also supporting sustainable development in emerging, high-growth markets. A key component of this strategy is a also an emphasis on deploying capital strategically with a gender-lens.
In this session, we will look at the data behind these blended investments, showcase successful models and invite leading impact investors to share their insights and strategies for blended finance structures in emerging markets, with a spotlight on successful gender-lens approaches.
