This brief is part of a series of examples that challenges this view, portraying women as active agents of change, in the hope of inspiring donors to advance women‘s economic empowerment to address climate change. Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) members helped the Canopy Lab team identify the women featured in the briefs as examples of innovation. This brief seeks to show which common threads emerged from 24 interviews conducted with donor representatives, and 11 interviews with women who benefitted from donor support to combat climate change in food systems, natural resource management, and sustainable energy. This case is structured around the impact areas that the research team sought to explore, namely: inclusion, women’s economic empowerment through a lens of agency and access, environment, and sustainability. For full context, it should be read in combination with the other four briefs that are part of this series.
