Our Commitments

We have a commitment that 75% of the projects in our portfolio should be gender intentional, meaning these projects consider the different needs and constraints of women and men and take some steps to create gender equality.

In partnership with: Coffee private sector partners in Uganda, Kenya, Vietnam and Colombia

Update

June 2023

14 of our projects are gender intentional in 2022. 2 are reported to be transformative and 2 are reported to be unintentional. We would like for the intentional projects to stay that way or become transformative, meaning that those projects understand the different needs of women and men and address the root causes of gender inequality.
