Women professionals in a financial literacy and leadership development workshop — representing women's economic empowerment and financial inclusion

Challenge

  • Women entrepreneurs and economically active women faced systemic barriers to accessing financial services, limiting their ability to build institutional credibility and participate fully in economic life

  • Local capacity on financial inclusion mechanisms — including remittance services and their role in economic empowerment — was insufficient to support sustained knowledge transfer and programme impact

  • The absence of structured Training of Trainers frameworks constrained the programme's ability to scale institutional knowledge and build lasting local expertise

Diaax Response

  • Contributed to the design and implementation of a regional financial inclusion and women's economic empowerment programme — providing strategic advisory support to strengthen programme architecture and delivery

  • Designed and delivered Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions focused on remittance services and financial inclusion mechanisms — building institutional capacity among trainers and key programme stakeholders

  • Facilitated knowledge transfer and leadership development among trainers, equipping them with the tools and frameworks to sustain and scale the programme's institutional impact

  • Supported the dissemination of practical financial literacy tools and approaches to enhance women's economic participation and entrepreneurial capacity

Impact

  • Increased local institutional capacity on financial inclusion and remittance-related topics — with a structured Training of Trainers framework enabling sustained knowledge transfer

  • Strengthened leadership and facilitation capabilities among trainers, creating a multiplier effect for programme reach and institutional impact

  • Contributed to women's economic empowerment and inclusive entrepreneurship — building the institutional foundations for greater financial participation and long-term economic resilience
