MC-008: Financial Empowerment: Practical guidelines for Financial Inclusion, Literacy and Wealth Creation
Overview
Household resilience and MSME growth are the backbone of inclusive development. This MasterClass translates financial inclusion into everyday tools: budgeting systems, emergency funds, debt restructuring, disciplined saving/investing, and MSME cash‑flow mastery.
Participants build a simple but powerful plan: one household playbook and one MSME finance toolkit, designed for immediate rollout through community groups, churches, unions, and chambers.
Audience
MSME agencies, consumer advocates, social-service NGOs, chambers, central banks and regulators, banks, fintechs, and credit unions
Facilitators
Omar Burch Smith, Regional Collective Investment Scheme Manager, Unit Trust Corporation
