Investors Seek $8bn for Gender Equity Roadmap in Nigeria

Investors are seeking $8 billion in financing to launch the Gender Equity Social Inclusion (GESI) Roadmap in Nigeria. The roadmap, a collaboration between investors and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), aims to mobilize capital for 40 inclusive financial products for women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

The CEO of PwC Nigeria, IIF Etemore Glover, highlighted the ambitious targets of the roadmap, including integrating GESI principles and enacting new policies. Ibukun Awosika, Chair of GSG Nigeria, emphasized the transformative potential of the initiative to democratize capital and empower marginalized groups.

The roadmap signifies a significant shift in Nigeria's economy towards inclusivity and accountability, with a focus on mobilizing domestic capital and regulatory instruments.
