About Women's Livelihood Bond

The Women's Livelihood Bond (WLB) is a pioneering financial instrument issued by Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) to empower underserved women across Asia and Africa. It is a series of innovative gender-lens impact bonds that mobilize private capital to support women-focused enterprises in sectors like sustainable agriculture, financial inclusion, and clean energy.

Structured as a social bond, the WLB provides affordable financing to high-impact enterprises that create sustainable livelihoods for women, helping them achieve economic resilience and social empowerment. The bond offers both financial returns and measurable social impact, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly gender equality and poverty alleviation.

By bridging the gap between capital markets and social impact, the WLB Series has attracted global institutional investors, demonstrating the power of blended finance in advancing women's economic empowerment.
