One of FMO’s aims is to actively contribute to reducing inequalities by, among other things, seeking investment opportunities that positively contribute to the full inclusion of women in economic, social and public life. 

Based on the findings and recommendations, in the next six months FMO will pilot the gender lens tool for Building Prospect investments in agribusinesses. In the medium term, this is expected to lead to concrete opportunities for FMO to improve gender equality in the agri space. FMO will also explore a recommendation to put in place an incubator facility to reach women-owned or led agri SMEs via local banks.
