How should digital financial services be designed to genuinely support women’s economic empowerment?
On 25 February 2026, WEE-DiFine hosted a webinar exploring how digital financial services can be designed to genuinely support women’s economic empowerment. The session drew on synthesis-level findings from across the WEE-DiFine research portfolio, highlighting evidence that digital finance is most effective when it aligns with women’s financial preferences, liquidity timing, and structured money management practices.
Elijah Kipchumba presented key insights from the synthesis work, followed by a panel discussion featuring Samyuktha Kannan, Achyuta Adhvaryu, and Selim Gulesci, who reflected on implications from their research on insurance, savings, and wage payment interventions.
The full recording of the webinar is now available below.
