Strategic Advisor @U.S. Department Of State
IN
Invited by the U.S. State Department, Global Entrepreneurship Summit, to partner with Government of India\'s entrepreneurship program, National Institution for Transforming India (NITI). Goal to create new opportunities and commitments for investment, partnership and collaboration to promote entrepreneurship as a driver for economic growth, social inclusion, particularly women. Women represent tremendous promise for economic growth and prosperity in both developing and developed countries, also face tremendous barriers to building businesses. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fund for women entrepreneurs with the World Bank. The Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), the first World Bank-led facility to advance women’s entrepreneurship at this scale, will work to enable more than $1 billion of financing to improve access to capital, provide technical assistance, and invest in other projects and programs that support women and women-led SMEs in World Bank Group client countries. The goal of the facility is to leverage donor grant funding – currently over US$325 million – to unlock more than $1 billion in IFI and commercial financing by working with financial intermediaries, funds, and other market actors.
