My Name Is Bond, Gender Bond.
A founder-led strategic line for shaping, structuring, and leading the next generation of gender-bond markets across sovereign, financial, multilateral, and development-finance contexts.
What It Is
My Name Is Bond, Gender Bond is a founder-led strategic line created by Amelia Kraij López Huix to reposition gender bonds as credible instruments of capital allocation, issuer strategy, market architecture, and institutional execution.
It is built for institutions seeking not merely to enter the market, but to shape it with greater seriousness, credibility, and strategic relevance.
Its purpose is to connect issuer ambition with investor logic, market visibility with disciplined execution, and financing instruments with the wider architecture of Gender Economic Governance.
Where It Operates
This line is designed to support and influence the development of gender-bond markets across sovereign and public issuers, financial institutions, multilaterals and development-finance actors, market infrastructure institutions, and selected country pathways.
It is built for institutions seeking stronger issuance logic, clearer market positioning, more credible frameworks, and disciplined routes from market ambition to institutional execution.
How It Connects to MCIP
My Name Is Bond, Gender Bond is founder-led in voice, market direction, and strategic energy. MCIP is the institutional house that converts that direction into operating architecture.
Through MCIP, this line can move into bond readiness and issuer pathways, use-of-proceeds and reporting architecture, Global Platform tracks, sovereign and multilateral mandates, and country-level execution pathways.
This is how founder-led market leadership becomes institutional scale.

About the Gender-Bond Market Leadership Programme
My Name Is Bond, Gender Bond is not only a founder-led strategic line. It is also designed as a global operating programme for institutions seeking to move from fragmented market visibility to stronger architecture, more credible issuance pathways, and greater institutional scale.
What the Programme Is For
The program is designed for institutions seeking to strengthen gender-bond market logic, develop credible issuer pathways, align issuance with investor expectations, improve market architecture and standards, connect bond instruments with state finance and capital mobilization, and activate serious pathways country by country.
This is not a thematic education program. It is a market development and execution system.
