The Gates Foundation is working with partners to ensure women entrepreneurs across Africa can get the capital they need. Read more: gates.ly/3JoFk0N

But when we asked them what was standing in the way of those dreams, nearly two-thirds had the exact same answer: They couldn’t get the startup capital or resources they needed.

Our foundation recently commissioned a survey asking more than 200,000 women in Kenya and Nigeria about their greatest economic ambition. The number one answer we heard? Women wanted to own or expand a business.

When women are empowered, society benefits. The #WhatWomenWant campaign provided a unique platform for women to amplify their voices and share their most pressing needs to improve their health and well-being.

We are glad to have been part of this crucial campaign 🙏🏽 White Ribbon Alliance

It's hard to believe it's been a month since we hosted our final event! We're thrilled so many were able to be a part of important conversations that don't happen enough, or as honestly, in the health & development sector.

We were privileged to engage with women leaders from Real Compassion CBO, which came to be as a result of our collaborative partnership under the ECCES Program supported by Act Change Transform & the What Women Want Program funded by White Ribbon Alliance

At our recent event, Dr. Aman of Forum for Safe Motherhood said 'We need to believe in the power of the grassroots and the local organizations...acknowledge their experiences and their inputs into the processes and also into the programming.' #GrassrootsPower #InclusiveLeadership

These stirring words shared by Merette at our recent event underscore the need for inclusivity in our efforts towards shifting power and decolonization. Let's ensure every voice is valued as we strive for a more equitable world. #ShiftingPower #Decolonization #Inclusivity

🌍 Our final event as White Ribbon Alliance Global sparked powerful conversations on decolonization, localization, and community wisdom in development work. Couldn't join? Watch the recording: hubs.li/Q02rKK_g0 #DecolonizeDevelopment

💬 Amplifying Women’s Economic Ambitions 💬
'I want my business to prosper.' - A woman from Niger State, Nigeria
'I desire to expand my tailoring business.' - A woman from Nandi, Kenya

Let's listen, amplify their voices, and support their dreams! #EconomicEmpowerment

From expanding businesses to becoming small-scale farmers, Rural Women Peace Link found Kenyan women have big dreams! Yet, many face challenges in accessing formal employment opportunities. Let's recognize and support the vital role these women play in their communities and economies.

As we move to close the US-based Global Secretariat, we're intentionally shifting power and making room for those working closest to women. An example we hope many in development will follow. Thank you to Devex & Elissa Miolene for covering our story!

While our journey is ending, the fight for women's health continues. Now, it's time for grassroots organizations to take center stage and lead the change we all want to see.

Was such an amazing and reflective #WorldWeWant & White Ribbon Alliance event last night. Congratulations Kristy Kade for the incredible work with 400 organizations and the journey of impact and learning! ❤️

Vineeta Gupta MD, JD, LL.M Merette White Ribbon Alliance We must acknowledge that the leaders who aim to transform, as they rise in global health, perpetuate the power inequities. It might be the system, but when will we do the social justice work? Merette

The “localization” agenda is not new, it has been called grassroots, locally led, so many things, but how do we get power into hands of communities & their voices be heard Vineeta Gupta MD, JD, LL.M #GlobalHealth , we still have to reach that.
