The Women’s Health and Economic Empowerment Network (WHEN) is a blended finance and innovation platform dedicated to expanding access to healthcare, capital, and opportunity for women worldwide.

Founded to align leaders across G7 governments, UN agencies, the private sector, and philanthropy, WHEN designs and scales solutions that unlock financing for emerging sectors including health, education, agriculture, and entrepreneurship.

We work across the full financing spectrum—from technical assistance and grant capital to concessional loans, guarantees, and equity investment—helping programs close critical funding gaps and achieve sustainable, systems-level impact.

At WHEN, we seek to create enduring impact through our funds and deal structures to advance women’s health and economic empowerment. Centering gender equity, social inclusion, and sustainability into every initiative not only improves outcomes for women and girls, but also unlocks broader health and economic gains that benefit entire communities and the world as a whole.
