Micro and Mighty: How last mile entrepreneurs are making financial inclusion possible for women
Channel: Sankalp Forum
Date: 30/11/2021

An estimated one billion women are excluded from the formal financial system. Although access is growing, significant barriers still prohibit women from adopting financial solutions - especially in rural areas. 

Micro-entrepreneurs offer a direct, and potentially, effective channel for reaching women at the last mile. These entrepreneurs can offer payments, credit, insurance and cash-in-cash-out solutions. As women themselves they also help to reduce barriers that women customers face, due to social norms and other prohibitive gender dynamics.
In this interactive, workshop-style session, participants will expand their knowledge and understanding on the opportunities and complexities of financial inclusion for women at the last mile. While familiarising themselves with Bopinc’s BIG IDEA Framework - a practical approach to driving adoption and usage of financial solutions at scale. 
The expertise and experience of participants will also help to shape practical solutions and partnership ideas. The session is also a relaxed networking-opportunity for participants to engage with like-minded, ecosystem players and potential partners. 

Please note: To ensure we have an insightful session with representation from across the industry, we may need to limit session attendance. For this reason, each registration request will be confirmed in lead up to the event.
