This document suggests 10 concrete, evidence-based ideas for action. The ideas are based on a review of the available evidence, from Ethiopia and beyond,on ‘what works’ in closing key gender gaps in the use of financial services. They also take into account recent data on financial inclusion in the country as well as current policy priorities, especially those expressed in the National Bank of Ethiopia’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy. The ideas are grouped into four thematic sections: advancing women’s careers in finance; closing gender gaps inaccess to credit; closing gender gaps in the use of digital financial services; and regulating for women’s financial inclusion. Some of them can be put into action by Ethiopia’s banks and microfinance institutions, others by the central bank, digital financial service providers or development partners.
