Micro savings, maximum impact.

Scale2Save research: Young people in Africa – focuses on income, spending, saving
The podcast includes a conversion on new research published by WSBI in December 2019 on young people in Africa. Released under the Scale2Save programme, the research outlines ways to drive financial inclusion by reaching more African youth. Widening financial access in Africa remains a struggle, especially when it comes to staying ahead of surging growth in the numbers of young people.
New Scale2save programme director takes helm
Weselina Angelow was appointed on 1 February 2020 as programme director, succeeding Ian Radcliffe who retires after 25 years of service at WSBI-ESBG. She takes the helm at a great time, with projects in six countries.
Scale2Save videos bring to life young people research
In addition to the report, there are four videos for the Scale2Save young people research available on youtube. The videos really bring the report to life with first-hand interviews from young people in Senegal. Those videos touch on savings, income and spending, along with a summary report. >> See the videos
