Abstract
This article, published on March 7, 2018, discusses how the Mastercard Foundation aims to drive business expansion and youth employment in Africa by addressing low access to formal financial services, which disproportionately affects women and youth. Programs increase access by linking informal savings groups and scaling services through alternative delivery channels, and to date, Foundation programs have reached 11 million clients.
