Scale2Save Campaign
Micro savings, maximum impact.
A practical approach to changing behaviors of financial service providers for more meaningful outreach to low-income people.
During six years of implementation, the Scale2Save programme for financial inclusion gathered significant learning on institutional transformation. This publication explores the leanings from change management processes within the programme’s partner financial service providers.
Is change possible without changing our behaviours and habits? No. Change is not possible without changing the way we do things. And this requires close accompaniment, trust, and energy.
This paper analyses the processes Scale2Save implemented with LAPO Microfinance Bank in Nigeria, ADVANS Côte d’Ivoire and BRAC Uganda Bank Limited.
