This webinar constituted the first installment of the Understanding Youth and their Financial Needs webinar series.
The first installment in this webinar series focused on using market research to develop appropriate savings programs for girls. Women's World Banking has a long history of developing girls' savings programs with XacBank in Mongolia, Banco ADOPEM in the Dominican Republic, PEACE MFI S.CO in Ethiopia (as part of YouthStart), and now with SEWA Bank in India and Diamond Bank in Nigeria.
Speaker Ryan Newton shared Women's World Banking's experience with translating market research into usable savings programs, especially in her work in India and Ethiopia. With a focus on program design, marketing, and financial education, she discussed what worked well, what surprised them, and what they would change in the future.
