Abstract
This article, published on October 9, 2018, discusses the Mastercard Foundation/IFC Partnership for Financial Inclusion and how it has dramatically increased financial access in Sub-Saharan Africa (23% to 43%), generating 11.4 million new digital users. The article notes that future efforts must target the unserved—women, youth, and rural populations. This work now supports Young Africa Works, leveraging digital services to help 30 million youth obtain dignified employment by 2030. The article also includes remarks from Ann Miles, the Director of Thought Leadership and Innovation at the Mastercard Foundation.
