Overview
The report stated that “women-owned businesses in Africa are growing at a faster rate than women-owned businesses worldwide.”
They also mention that women produce most of the food in Africa as well. Investors that support NGO’s such as the African Food Basket Project that help support women specifically. So social impact investing may have a greater impact on women when investments are made in NGO’s in Africa that specifically focus on women. Companies, such as those listed above may have funds that are being invested in Africa, but may not directly benefit women.
