Savings-Led Working Group Meeting

Since 2007, SEEP’s Savings-Led Working Group (SLWG) has been at the frontier of the Savings Group movement for over a decade, building awareness of Savings Groups, establishing common definitions, and facilitating broad-based industry coordination and learning. The SLWG is the recognized home for collaborative learning and action among practitioners. The working group maintains the most exhaustive resource library on Savings Groups, develops demand-driven knowledge products, and organizes high-impact learning events.

The annual SLWG meeting will bring together individuals committed to improving SGs methodologies and bringing interventions to scale. The meeting offers a space for practitioners to learn from one another and examine the role that SGs can play in resilience interventions. Practitioners will also have the opportunity to assess progress made on group- identified learning priorities and chart a path for the learning agenda moving forward.
