Working Groups

Knowledge Sharing and Problem Solving

Our Working Groups connect members for in-depth discussions on key areas of the Women’s Markets. Financial Alliance for Women Working Groups prioritize knowledge sharing and problem solving. They meet on a regular basis for guided interactive webinars that explore the particular Working Group’s focus area, discussing successes, challenges and how to best overcome them.

Past Working Groups have focused on sex-disaggregated data, insurance for the Women’s Markets, gender diversity and inclusion, product innovation. The Alliance also partnered with Mastercard to run a Task Force on Payment Solutions for the female economy, which supported members to design and implement value-add payment solutions for a target segment.
