This Roadmap presents a way forward for achieving Gender-Transformative Climate Finance (GTCF) in Sub-Saharan Africa. It examines the convergence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a focus on women climate entrepreneurs (WCEs), and the climate finance ecosystem along with its various stakeholders (investors, other financial service providers, intermediaries, ecosystem builders and governments). The Roadmap builds on research carried out between 2021 and 2022 in consultation with over 150 individuals (predominantly women) who are active in entrepreneurial and climate finance ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The purpose of this Roadmap is to present recommendations to donors, including Global Affairs Canada (GAC), on how to facilitate WCEs’ access to appropriate climate finance, contributing to greater equality and inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa.
