WOMEN IN FINANCE SUMMIT GHANA
Counting on Women: The Future of Finance
March 3, 2026
Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra
Overview
Evoke Impact is proud to present the Women in Finance Summit Ghana (WIFSG), a premier gathering of senior women leaders in finance to drive meaningful change and progress across the finance ecosystem. The WIFSG provides a focused platform for high-impact conversations, peer networking, and collaborative insight-sharing on leadership, inclusion, and innovation. This curated experience is part of Evoke Impact’s commitment to promoting diversity and amplifying women’s leadership across the finance ecosystem. Despite progress, women continue to hold just 24% of senior leadership roles globally in finance. Yet, diverse teams consistently outperform their peers—by over 30% in profitability and decision-making. The case for inclusion is clear: it not only enhances business performance but also strengthens innovation, resilience, and long-term sustainability. Evoke Impact recognises the need for a dedicated platform that addresses these disparities and brings together women leaders who are actively shaping the future of finance. Rooted in this conviction, WIFSG 2025 aims to amplify voices, deepen networks, and build a more inclusive and equitable finance ecosystem. Through candid conversations and peer-driven engagement, this initiative strengthens leadership pipelines and fosters long-term impact.
The Summit Theme
"Counting on Women: The Future of Finance"
The theme underscores the significance of women's participation and leadership in the finance sector. It recognises the valuable contributions women have made and continue to make in shaping the industry, from banking and investments to financial planning and policymaking.
This theme also highlights the benefits of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in finance. By empowering women and creating opportunities for them to succeed, the finance industry can tap into a broader talent pool, drive innovation, and better serve diverse customer needs.
Moreover, the theme emphasises the importance of women's financial literacy, empowerment, and inclusion. By counting on women and supporting their participation in finance, we can promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and create a more equitable society.
Overall, "Counting on Women: The Future of Finance" is a call to action to recognise, support, and empower women in finance, and to create a more inclusive and diverse industry that benefits everyone.
The summit will delve into how innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and collaborative efforts can drive transformative change in Ghana's healthcare sector.
Through this theme, the summit aims to provide a platform for healthcare leaders, policymakers, innovators, and stakeholders to share experiences, exchange ideas, and forge partnerships that can propel Ghana's healthcare transformation forward. By leveraging innovation and partnerships, Ghana can create a more effective, efficient, and equitable healthcare system that benefits all its citizens.
