IIF shifts Nigeria's gender investment agenda from policy to capital deployment.
The objective, stakeholders said, is to make gender-smart investing a standard feature of Nigeria's capital market rather than a niche strategy.
The workshop marks a decisive phase in the post-2025 Gender Impact Investment Summit process, where Nigeria formally launched its Gender/GESI Roadmap.
The Lagos workshop signals that the next phase will be judged not by commitments made, but by capital deployed.
