Airtel and I&M Bank Tanzania Promote Women's Financial Empowerment through Digital Resources
I&M Bank Tanzania and Airtel Tanzania Launch Women Financial Literacy & Inclusion Program
I&M Bank Tanzania and Airtel Tanzania have joined forces to launch the Women Financial Literacy & Inclusion Program, an initiative aimed at empowering female entrepreneurs in Tanzania by enhancing their financial knowledge and ensuring access to digital financial services.
The program, which kicked off with a one-day training session in Dar es Salaam, brought together over 50 women to learn about digital finance, capital and investment planning, financial management, and sustainable business practices.
The focus of the program is not specified regarding a particular industry or country, but it aims to use digital financial services to help women achieve their economic and social goals. The specific digital financial services involved and the timeline or duration of the program are not provided.
By providing training in digital financial literacy and inclusion, the program seeks to close persistent challenges around loan access and business ownership by women, promote women’s economic empowerment through improved financial decision-making, and support inclusive growth by enabling women entrepreneurs to participate more fully in the economy.
The collaboration leverages Airtel Tanzania's digital services to make financial tools more accessible to a wider audience, and it looks to deepen I&M Bank's commitment to sustainability and financial inclusion. The implications of this collaboration on the financial inclusion of women are not discussed.
The program's goal also includes helping women achieve social goals, although the potential impact of the project on women's social status is not elaborated. Jennifer Onyeagoro is collaborating on the project, but the details about the other parties involved in the collaboration are not given.
Overall, this strategic effort by I&M Bank and Airtel is a significant step towards bridging financial inclusion gaps facing women entrepreneurs in Tanzania, fostering sustainable economic growth driven by empowered women.
