Projects

Inclusive and diverse governance

In collaboration with Pro Mujer and Deetken Impact –as part of the Ilu Women’s Empowerment Program financed by USAID – we developed a set of tools for Ilu Toolbox lens “Integrated and Inclusive Governance & Women Leadership”. To enable companies to:

EvAssess – in a cross-cutting manner – the current governance status regarding gender integration in its various interventions – internally and externally – and among its different stakeholders.

Design an action plan to implement a gender perspective integrated governance.

Within the project, we also conducted trainings for more than 15 Latin American companies from Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico and Peru (among other countries).

The tools developed can be accessed here.

Impact financing

Through a three sprints consultancy developed in alliance with Acrux, we assisted Naranja X’s Social Innovation team in designing the social innovation strategy impact financing pillar. To this end:

We conducted a benchmark to analyze the relevance given by the fintech sector in Latin American to certain impact matters, identifying sustainable and impact finance existing opportunities.

We trained Naranja X’s business areas leaders, products, and finance on sustainable and impact investing, on how to integrate ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors into investment products development, and on the different tools available for channelling those investments.

As a result, Naranja X identified its more relevant impact matters for the impact financing pillar aligned with the SDGs on which the company focuses on, together with a series of opportunities which were complemented with a roadmap.
