Financial Sector Deepening Africa (FSD Africa) early November, announced a new partnership with global non-profit Women’s World Banking to bring 1.3 million people from Sub-Saharan Africa into the formal financial services sector for the first time. Over five years, FSD Africa, a program of the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), will provide up to $7.1 million to Women’s World Banking to fund a collaboration that will generate powerful results not only for low-income clients, especially women, but also for the institutions that serve them and the markets in which they operate.
