Making the Case and Telling the Story

One of the barriers to shifting investment strategy is effective stakeholder engagement across the investment cycle. In this workshop focused on narrative strategy, delegates will work through common challenges and align on how to better integrate gender and a wider diversity lens across stakeholder types, investment cases and approaches. Peer groups of actors from foundations and DFIs to public market actors will exchange ideas and success stories as they construct a set of contextually-relevant, persuasive narratives for investing with a gender lens.
