Our projects around the world
Context
Since 2012 and the end of the military-political unrest that ravaged the country for more than 10 years, Ivory Coast has once again become an economic powerhouse for the West African region, with an annual growth rate of 8% on average. Aware of the importance of financial inclusion as a vector for development, the Ivorian authorities have created the Agency for the Promotion of Financial Inclusion of Ivory Coast (APIF-CI) whose first mission was to coordinate the development of the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (SNIF 2019-2024), whose main objectiveis to improve access to formal financial services for vulnerable and excluded populations and to raise the financial inclusion rate from 40% in 2017 to 60% by 2024.
Goals
The objective of the project is to design and write quality and adapted training modules, tools and materials to strengthen the financial education of target groups.
Beneficiaries
- Out-of-school youth, public and private sector employees, entrepreneurs (VSEs, SMEs, and SMIs), and rural populations (shopkeepers, farmers, and artisans), with a focus on women.
