From the lingering effects of the pandemic to inflation and global energy and food challenges, Africa’s financial sector is navigating difficult economic times. But with strong policies, and by tapping new technology and strategies, these challenges can be turned into opportunities. In this short video, Aliou Maiga, IFC’s Director for the Financial Institutions Group (FIG) in Africa, highlights how collaboration among policymakers, regulators, and the private sector can build a more resilient financial sector on the continent. This conversation will take center stage at the upcoming Africa Financial Industry Summit in Morocco. #AFIS2024. http://wrld.bg/bru350TMr3t IFC - International Finance Corporation , @IFC Financial Institutions

Ravi de m’être rendu au #Mali pour officialiser deux nouvelles collaborations prometteuses pour IFC - Société financière internationale: l'une avec Sama Money Mali et l'autre avec Prevalya, SAER GROUP. Ces partenariats renforcent notre engagement en faveur de l'inclusion financière et sociale à travers le pays. Avec SAMA Money, nous entendons élargir l'accès aux services financiers numériques, permettant ainsi à des milliers de personnes sous-desservies ainsi qu'à des PME de bénéficier de services essentiels comme les paiements mobiles. Cette initiative vise à combler le déficit d'inclusion financière car malgré la popularité croissante de la monnaie mobile, moins d'un quart des Maliens possèdent un compte bancaire. Notre collaboration avec Prevalya se concentre sur l'amélioration de l'accès aux soins de santé. En partenariat avec le système de sécurité sociale du Mali, Prevalya ambitionne d'étendre chaque année la couverture d'assurance santé à un nombre croissant de travailleurs. Cette initiative renforcera les liens entre les organismes de protection sociale et leurs bénéficiaires, au profit des populations marginalisées comme des groupes formels. Ces deux partenariats joueront un rôle clé dans le renforcement de la résilience économique et le soutien à une croissance inclusive, non seulement au Mali, mais aussi dans toute la région du Sahel. Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude à nos nouveaux partenaires au Mali, ainsi qu'à toute l'équipe projet et au bureau d’IFC dans le pays.

A strong agricultural sector is critical to strengthening food security and improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. Access to quality warehouses to store produce can enhance food security, enable farmers to fetch good prices for their commodities and more easily access financing. Great to join Yvette van Eechoud of the #Netherlands and Alfred Ombudo K'Ombudo to discuss our work to support #Kenya’s smallholder farmers by expanding access to warehouses and enhancing the availability of agricultural financing. I look forward to building on our work together with our public and private sector partners.
