How can mobile financial service providers better target women?
Mobile money is widely cited as a game changer for financial inclusion and one of the drivers of growth for the mobile industry. However, studies have shown that women are consistently less likely than men to use mobile financial services. This report provides an approach to analyzing customer data with a gender lens to help providers understand where they are losing potential female subscribers and develop actionable strategies for realizing this opportunity. |
Interview with Nomsa Daniels, CEO of the pan-African advocacy organization Graça Machel Trust "From our experience, making women less fragmented and bringing them together to speak in one voice is really effective."
