Corporate social responsibility for women's empowerment: a study on Nigerian banks

What is it about?

Nigerian banks are engaging in CSR activities, grounded in the principles of Sustainable Development Goals, Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and Nigerian Sustainable Banking Principles to empower women. These CSR initiatives are targeted at women at large, women in business and women with a career and they provide financial, social and career empowerment and access to healthcare and leadership opportunities for the women. While these efforts are acknowledged, there are more opportunities for the banks to empower women towards financial and social independence through loans, grants and mentorship.
