GENDER LENS FINANCING

BIDUK is a lending platform meeting the needs of Jakarta-based small and growing businesses with an emphasis on those owned by women. BIDUK is purpose-built to ensure processes, practices and products are designed to eliminate intentional or unintentional gender and social bias as thoroughly as possible.

Based on a gender lens investment approach and utilizing a blended finance model, BIDUK is part of two programs: Scaling Frontier Innovations and Investing In Women, funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Why We Invested: BIDUK
