WHEN works to forge blended finance partnerships by leveraging public-private sector partnerships to address the women’s health financing gap. WHEN provides a platform for high-level leaders from DFIs, G7 governments, the private sector, philanthropy, and the investor community to highlight the resources needed to harness the untapped potential of blended financing structures to drive more innovative and equitable health solutions.

WHEN aims to increase and de-risk investment in women’s health and economic empowerment by translating economic evidence into actionable, high-impact blended finance investment opportunities. Designing blended finance models using evidence-based approaches that optimize health, economic, and financial impacts allowed WHEN to make a $100 million commitment to address cervical cancer in South East Asia. WHEN is also scaling investment into solar for health initiatives that require blended finance structures to improve women’s healthcare in LMICs through the strategic use of development finance and philanthropic funds to mobilize additional private investments.
