Longitudinal studies of women-owned SMEs for Investing in Women

DevLearn supports Investing in Women (IW) to track the results of investments in women-owned SMEs during their first phase of implementation. The work involves compiling existing datasets into a consolidated database, creating a standardised reporting template for partners, and managing the rollout of a Power BI dashboard to monitor and communicate key results.

Drawing on this data – alongside interviews with Investment Partners and SMEs, DevLearn produces a series of evidence pieces demonstrating the long-term effects of impact investment on SME performance and gender equity.
