De Tropen café-restaurant is gevestigd in het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen aan de rand van het Oosterpark.

De Tropen

Every second Thursday of the month, we organize lectures around the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Our guest speakers are academic experts and entrepreneurs working in the field of the SDGs. They discuss root causes, challenges, relevant theories and important stakeholders. But foremost, they talk about the role of innovation and entrepreneurship, if we want to reach the goals by 2030.
So join us, go back to school and immerse yourself in knowledge for sustainability!

<H2>SDG 5: GENDER EQUALITY</H2>
Only a few days after International Woman's Day on March 8th, we will discuss SDG 5: Gender Equality. In many developing countries, large parts of the population - including women - have limited access to financial services. According to the World Bank, over 1 billion women still do not use or have access to finance. And 70% of the women-owned small and medium enterprises, have inadequate or no access to financial services. As a result they have difficulties in collecting and saving (family) income and growing their businesses, leading to an exclusion of women from the formal economy. Our first guest speaker Luz Martinez, economist and senior advisor Inclusive Finance & Gender at <A HREF="https://www.kit.nl/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KIT Royal Tropical Institute</A>, will deep dive into SDG 5: Gender Equality. She will share insights on the relation between women and finance and her recent research on women entrepreneurs in the MENA region.
The second guest speaker, translating theory to practice and showing the role of entrepreneurship in achieving SDG 5, is <A HREF="https://100weeks.nl/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">100WEEKS</A>. 100WEEKS believes that women themselves know best what they need to stand on their own feet within weeks. This micro-giving platform empowers and supports entrepreneurship amongst women who need it most, alleviating their families from poverty.
