The Women Entrepreneurs Finance Code (the WE Finance Code or, simply, the Code), coordinated under the global initiative known as Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi), was launched by the World Bank in 2023. It is a collaborative partnership among 14 governments, eight multilateral development banks (MDBs), and other public and private sector stakeholders.
The Code is a commitment by Financial Service Providers (FSPs), regulators, development banks, and other financial ecosystem players to work together to increase funding provided to women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (WMSMEs) around the world, so that they can grow and add value to the economy and their communities.
