Resources from the Impact-Linked Fund for Gender Inclusive Fintech (ILF for GIF)

The ILF for GIF is a highly innovative fund and an expert in the gender-fintech nexus. Our mission is to catalyze women’s financial inclusion with Impact-Linked Finance and help create a thriving ecosystem for gender transformative impact. Here, we would like to share valuable resources, learnings, and insights from our program, our partners and beyond.

New: Our Global Gender-Inclusive Fintech Ecosystem Map!

Explore our Gender-Inclusive Fintech Ecosystem Map, a curated showcase of organizations at the intersection of financial inclusion, gender, and fintech, with an emphasis on migration. Compiled from publicly available data, it’s a diverse, non-exhaustive list reflecting the vibrant landscape of actors advancing inclusion worldwide. Please note that inclusion in this map is not an endorsement; each organization is grouped by its core activity, and Spotlights highlight unique efforts for gender equity — it’s about recognition, not judgment.

Released in 2023, the first global report presents the overall structure and findings of the Gender-Inclusive Fintech Ecosystem, capturing organizations across multiple regions. In October 2025, we expanded the mapping to include the Latin America Window of the Impact-Linked Fund for Gender Inclusive Fintech (ILF for GIF – Latam Window), developed under the Regional Protection and Migration Program (RPMP) of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC Colombia). This new edition highlights key actors in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, working at the nexus of gender, fintech, People on the Move, and financial inclusion.

Select your preferred type of view of our ecosystem map:

The digital Ecosystem Map below consolidates both mappings — the Global and the Latin America Window — and allows you to explore organizations according to the parameters and categories defined in each report. You can filter by region, sector, or stakeholder type to discover how fintech innovation connects with gender and migration across contexts.

Do you want to try some filters? Here are some recommendations:

• Filter by region to explore organizations featured in the Global or Latin America Window mappings.
• Filter by target customers if you’re a fintech or if you’re an investor who wants to see the target customers of investees
• Filter by gender criteria met if you’re a fintech, investor or capacity builder
• Filter by products & services offered if you’re a fintech
