Most people in developing economies don't have access to an officially recognisable #identity. Disadvantaged groups tend to be unable to access and use formal #financialservices without #digitalID. How can these groups be financially included? https://t.co/e7u7KXqa5C

Financial inclusion of women and forcibly displaced people is not just about access to an account, it is more about empowering to receive, save and earn, linking to fit-for-purpose #financialservices through a robust #digitalidentity #afiGPF #LeaveNoOneBehind #womenempowerment

Key to financial services being fit for purpose for all humanity is stronger representation of women and formally displaced people in banking, fintech and policy positions #afiGPF #LeaveNoOneBehind #womenempowerment #Refugees @Refugees @FSDAfrica @cenfri_org
Some of the key reasons for the delays we see in closing the gender gap in financial services 1. Lack of ID a greater challenge among women than men 2. Banking agents predominantly men 3. Products not specifically designed for the needs of women #afiGPF #womenempowerment
