Despite their vital role in the development of #rural economies, #women continue to have unequal access to opportunities that help them build resilient livelihoods & realize their economic potential.

[Anne Maftei @anne_maftei]

Really interesting insights re: reach & inclusivity. Some parallels with #agfinance innovators. Many may start out w/ focus on poor, but gradually move to non-poor segments as they grow, likely in search of profitability. Big Q is how to encourage return to focus on poor?

Before I go back to regularly scheduled tweets about agriculture, gender and financial inclusion I leave you with this excellent contribution by @naanking that perfectly sums up what mat leave is all about in case there is still confusion. FIN/

[Anne Maftei @anne_maftei]

Hello. I’m back from maternity leave and learned two important things while I was out: 1. how to keep a baby alive and happy, and 2. that way too many people in this sector still think mat leave is a vacation...1/

...your follow up up email to “clarify that I’m only asking for an hour of your time” is unhelpful. I read it correctly the first time, thanks! My brain is not completely atrophied by child-rearing. 4/
