BFA Global

After working with 11 enterprises across Kenya through the Opportunity Leads Umbrella Fund Program, we’ve learned that sustained income growth depends on multiple conditions working together, not one solution in isolation. On 𝟮𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟰:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗔𝗧, we're hosting a webinar to share key insights from this work, including a five-domain framework developed over two years of learning. The framework highlights the conditions that help women translate opportunity into sustained income growth. We’ll also explore: - What has worked in practice and what has not - The hidden barriers that limit women’s participation and growth - Why common approaches like skills training or access to finance often fall short on their own - How these interventions can become more effective when combined intentionally - The trade-offs organizations face when designing solutions, including scale vs. depth and speed vs. sustainability We especially welcome practitioners, funders, enterprises, researchers, and ecosystem actors working on women’s economic empowerment, livelihoods, enterprise growth, inclusive finance, and market systems to join the conversation. Because the real question is not whether opportunity exists. It is whether the right conditions are in place for women to turn that opportunity into lasting income growth.
