The GTRM-Cop is hosting a webinar series Gender Lens for Business Sense from June- December 2025. This webinar series brings together experts from research and industry to explore how gender transformative research and gender lens investing can unlock inclusive, sustainable growth.
On 1 July, 2025 from 3-4pm CEST, join this webinar on 'Investing in Climate, Nature and Women ' that will be held via zoom
How can private sector investments in agriculture and Nature based Solutions (NbS) drive both business value and gender equality? Join us for our second event in the webinar series: Gender Lens for Business Sense: Transforming Agri-food Investments.
Learn how Clarmondial, an impact investment advisory firm, is supporting agribusinesses to support women’s empowerment and transformation to deliver social and environmental impact at scale. Clarmondial will present its gender framework and highlight one of its technical assistance projects, a women’s economic empowerment program in Burkina Faso, to show how gender lens investing is a win-win for climate, nature and women.
📈 Our speakers will present a gender framework developed by Clarmondial together with Dr. Cathy Farnworth, a gender specialist, to embed gender empowerment considerations in a new fund focused on driving positive outcomes linked to agricultural landscapes and value chains.
Recognizing that gender dynamics in agricultural value chains are deeply context-specific, the framework is designed to be both rigorous and adaptable, anchored in global standards, yet tailored to local realities.
We’ll explore how this approach:
🔹 Integrates gender-lens investing and gender transformation from due diligence through implementation
🔹 Aligns with global frameworks such as 2X and RBET, while remaining context-relevant
🔹 Is being tested and applied to ensure tangible, inclusive outcomes are realized and captured
Join us as we continue to share and learn how applying a gender lens can transform agri-food investments.
