Human capacity is a critical component of delivering financial services, yet many financial service providers (FSPs), particularly those targeting the poor in developing countries, consistently struggle to develop and manage their human capital.

In the last year, Gateway Academy, an initiative developed by CGAP in partnership with Mastercard Foundation, has tested five eLearning courses with more than a dozen FSPs. Join Gateway Academy's market development officer and thought leaders from two different FSPs as they share what they have learned to date around key factors including:
  • Organizational culture
  • Leadership and engaged learning champions
  • Technical infrastructure and equipment
  • Human, financial and physical resources
