3/4: Dr YF also discussed the essential need for greater #economic opportunities for girls and women by way of greater access to finance & participation in local and national projects, especially those related to the energy, water, & food sectors.

#TogetherForImplementation

4/4: The most immediate part of our work is toward vulnerable communities, especially where #women bear the costs. So we support women's resilience through access to finance for the #greeneconomy and enable participation in #sustainable projects and planning."
