USAID Guide: Investing in Waste Management & Recycling with a Gender Lens

It is a 64-page PDF report published by USAID, with contributions from SAGANA, Circulate Capital, and Catalyst at Large. The guide provides a business case, framework, examples, case studies, and tools for commercial and impact investors to integrate a gender lens in their waste management and recycling investments, particularly in emerging markets. It highlights the importance of considering gender in investments, as women play key roles in the sector but often have less access to investment capital and opportunities. The guide offers recommendations and tools for investors to become gender-smart and unlock opportunities, mitigate risks, and enhance business performance.
