CDC Group (now BII), The DFI Gender Finance Collaborative, And The 2X Challenge

British Investment International (BII, formerly CDC Group) is the United Kingdom’s development finance institution (DFI), investing public money into great businesses across Africa and South Asia.

Catalyst At Large worked with BII to support their gender-smart investment strategy, connecting them with the experts, information, and innovators they need to make strategic investments that meet their financial objectives while helping to shape a world of greater equality and opportunity for women and girls.

As part of this collaboration, Catalyst At Large supported BII to create the Gender Finance Collaborative, a group of 15 DFIs working together to advance the standard and impact of gender-smart investing, through collaborative dialogue and a shared commitment to action.
