Abstract

In Africa, women are less likely than men to have access to and benefit from financial services. In Kenya for example, compared to men, women still have lower access to formal prudentially regulated services such as banks 35 percent for women compared to 50 percent for men. This case study features Jennifer Riria, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kenya Women Holding Group (KWH) and her work in reducing that gender gap in financial inclusion.
