What are our leverage points for translating traction into transformation differently, responding to the variety of successes and challenges across regions? How do we address the unique roles that regional market and policy landscapes play? In this session, we 'reverse brainstorm' a pathway from the current state of the field to our 2030 vision in an attempt to move quickly and effectively towards:

• An investor community that understands why and how paying attention to gender increases opportunity and lowers risk

• The integration of gender finance into core thematic investment lenses in the region, from healthcare and climate to care and financial inclusion

• The right level of gender finance talent and expertise, to better inform investment decisions

These regional sessions are an opportunity for those working and investing in specific regions to discuss what works, share new initiatives, emerging solutions and identify persistent blockages and areas for development. Regions include South Asia; Africa and MENA; Southeast Asia, East Asia & the Pacific; North America; Europe and the UK; and Latin America & the Caribbean.
