Financial Inclusion Unlocked is launching on 24th March!!
The new podcast series is on a journey to learn how we can unlock the potential of financial inclusion as an enabler for the 17 UN SDGs.
From the heights of Uganda's Rwenzori Mountains to the islands of Fiji, we're uncovering stories of breakthrough solutions covering topics from parametric insurance protecting communities against cyclones to innovative solutions empowering refugee entrepreneurs and instant payments.
Financial Inclusion Unlocked is hosted by Jack Farren, a social entrepreneur in the financial inclusion sector that is passionate about amplifying these stories.
This show is produced by SIJ Media (www.sijmedia.com), and our first 10-episode series is sponsored by the Swiss Capacity Building Facility (www.scbf.ch)
