The Zimbabwe Women’s Microfinance Bank stands as a pioneering financial institution dedicated to advancing economic inclusion for women and plays a central role as a promoter of the allWomen.africa platform. Through this partnership, ZWMB delivers tailored financial solutions designed specifically for women-led cooperatives, most notably the Cooperator Account—an integrated financial tool that enables collective saving, trading, compliance and access to credit within cooperative ecosystems.

allWomen.africa represents the impact arm of the Cooperative Debentures Exchange initiative, which seeks to unlock sustainable capital flows to women-led enterprises. In strong support of this vision, ZWMB has committed a dedicated US$10 million toward capitalizing the CDE, laying the foundation for a dynamic capital market that will generate millions of dollars in perpetuity for women cooperators.

Beyond financial backing, ZWMB strengthens digital and financial inclusion through strategic partnerships, such as its collaboration with NetOne to provide accessible data bundles. This is critically important in ensuring that women, particularly in underserved and rural areas, can reliably access the allWomen.africa platform, participate in digital markets and fully engage in the evolving cooperative economy.
