Our Story

In July 2021, Plan International launched a pilot in Kenya to assess the organisation’s value proposition for the gender lens investing market. The pilot was kicked off with human-centred market research, exploring the challenges and needs of gender lens entrepreneurs, investors and intermediaries. This research was crucial in identifying critical market gaps and  potential solutions that Plan International could explore in order to address them. As a result of this process, the organisation is currently piloting its first market offering in Kenya, the Disrupt4Her Gender Lens Incubator in Kenya.
