The Missing Middle: Where Capital and Pipeline Disconnect is a publication by Women Leading Climate Action (WLCA) authored by Amanda Archibong-Doukouré and Gloria Gowal-Abiri. The brief examines the persistent funding gap facing early-stage women-led green businesses, focusing on the disconnect between access to capital and the growing pipeline of women entrepreneurs developing climate and sustainability-driven solutions. It highlights the structural and financial barriers that often prevent these businesses from scaling, despite their potential to contribute meaningfully to green innovation and climate action. The publication calls for more intentional investment, stronger support systems, and more inclusive financing approaches to ensure women-led green enterprises are not left behind in the transition to a sustainable economy.
