As the Chairperson for the Bank of Uganda #Gender Inclusive Finance Working Group from 2023 to 2028, I am honoured to lead a team of dedicated professionals committed to transforming financial and digital literacy in Uganda. Our overarching goal is to foster an inclusive environment where everyone has equal access to financial tools and services, regardless of gender. Our mandate is underpinned by an ambitious agenda that aims to accelerate and support strategies geared towards enhancing financial and digital literacy across all genders, improving access to financial tools and digital devices, particularly for women and girls, developing and scaling gender-responsive financial services, and partnering with key stakeholders, including government ministries, private sector players, and funders, to amplify our impact. To achieve these goals, we are actively seeking partnerships and support. We invite potential funders, private sector entities, and stakeholders in the financial ecosystem to join us in this transformative journey. Your involvement is crucial; we can build a more equitable and inclusive financial landscape in Uganda. We would like to invite you to join our working group. Your expertise and support can contribute to our collective success. Under my leadership and with the support of our dynamic team and partners, we are committed to creating sustainable and impactful change. By December 2028, we aim to have implemented pivotal programs and set a benchmark for gender-inclusive finance globally. We remain steadfast in our commitment to empowering individuals with the tools they need for financial independence and success. Together, we can change the narrative and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. #FinancialInclusion #GenderEquality #DigitalLiteracy #FinancialLiteracy #BankOfUganda #Leadership #40Days40FinTechs #WomenInFinTech #IncludeEveryone #LevelOneProject #MadeOfGOD #JoinUs HiPipo Miller Abel The World Bank John Mark Ssebunnya Frederick Wamala - Ph.D, SABSA, CCSP, CISSP Ariel I.
