For 35 years, Delphos has championed financial solutions in emerging economies. Our philosophy is that the key to financial inclusion is harnessing the energy and creativity of women. We believe that empowering women of Africa is essential to enabling African communities to achieve their dreams.
Delphos International is proud to have Amb Roya Rahmani, Chair of Delphos International and a former Afghan Ambassador to the United States, join the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, during the launch of the Digital Coalition Program in Lusaka Zambia on April 1st 2023.
We have committed to mobilizing $250 million by 2027 to advance women’s economic security across Africa, including $100 million for projects to advance digital gender equality and women’s clean energy contributions, such as through products particularly benefitting women customers or supporting women-led enterprises.
Currently on an Africa tour, Amb.Rahmani has led many initiatives related to women empowerment and continues to advocate that women empowerment and participation is key to addressing climate change and positive economic development.
With a strong resolve to address financing gaps in developing countries, Delphos has been building bridges between government, Development Financial institution, investors and private sector to enable implementation of projects that can change the lives of many ordinary people, with a particular focus on women. It is embedded in our philosophy that women empowerment must be the bedrock of our efforts towards digital transformation, sustainable infrastructure, and climate resiliency.
