In an interview-style conversation, this #FIW24 live session discusses the role of #subsidy across three dimensions: the cost of funds, the use of #technology, and targeting of specific client groups. What actors need to work together and what are the biggest challenges in lowering the cost of funds? How can subsidy help #financialinclusion efforts reach specific populations, and what's the benefit of doing so? The full #FinclusionWeek live session recording is available to watch here: https://lnkd.in/eCaRdC54 Greta Bull, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Andree Simon, FINCA International

People in poverty just need the opportunity to succeed. However, many have limited resources and struggle to escape the cycle of poverty. Located on the outskirts of Jerash, Jordan, Mr. and Mrs. Atrouz once lived in this continuous cycle. However, that was until they found FINCA Jordan and received the loan they desperately needed to transform their lives. At FINCA, we are committed to delivering these crucial opportunities and lifting barriers through providing the tools necessary to succeed such as capital, and life-changing products and services. People in poverty don’t need a handout but a hand up, and by providing low-income individuals and communities with the resources they need–they can break their way out of the cycle of poverty. #FinancialInclusion #EndPoverty
