The Gender Data Learning Series is an in-depth course that equips financial service providers with the skills to develop or enhance their women-centered strategies using sex-disaggregated data.
The Learning Series will feature guest experts with experience developing successful sex-disaggregated data strategies, presentations of use cases and best practice tools, and opportunities for peer learning with fellow participants working at FSPs around the world.
Through a hybrid learning path combining online self-paced learning modules with live sessions, participants will be able to access tools and develop skills in their own time as well as meet virtually as a group to gain insights from global experts and engage with peer practitioners.
