The Convening is a strategically positioned event that will bring together thought leaders, experts, policymakers, and practitioners across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. This will facilitate meaningful and impact-driven discussions, sharing and exchanging valuable insights, and drive the collaboration towards addressing critical issues about digital finance, access to financial products and services for women and women’s financial inclusion. Also, the event will enable how we collectively, through firm actions, accountability and promoting policies, can close the gender gap for women through sustained financial inclusion.
