Thank you to all participants of the #2024SADCFI Forum! The invaluable insights shared, and active engagement made this year’s event a success. We appreciate everyone’s time and dedication. Stay tuned—the report will be available on our website soon. #financialinclusion

Day 2 of the #2024SADCFI Forum is well underway. There has been significant progress in the SADC region with #financialinclusion increasing from 57% in 2011 to 77% in 2023. The question is: How are real people in this figure affected, in terms of their livelihoods and sustainability? What are we missing as far as the informal market is concerned? We need to drive inclusivity through real market interventions to achieve real impact to ensure access translates to sustainable livelihoods. More can be achieved through collaborative and coordinated efforts by SADC stakeholders.

Informative sessions, robust discussions, and focused commitment marked Day 1 of the #2024SADCFI Forum. Work is underway, and what we realise from convenings like today's Forum is that the commitment to advancing financial inclusion through digitisation is both real and achievable through effective collaboration and communication with stakeholders and industry partners.

Important discussions are currently underway at the 2024 SADC Financial Inclusion Forum. We were pleased to receive a keynote address by the Governor of the Central Bank of Lesotho, Dr Maluke Letete, who shared Lesotho's journey under the theme: Community digitisation to enable economic growth in SADC – the evolution of digitisation of payments in Lesotho, highlighting key milestones and challenges. #SADCFI2024 #financialinclusion #paymentdigitalisation

We look forward to welcoming SADC member states and industry stakeholders to the seventh annual SADC Financial Inclusion Forum from 9-10 October 2024. We anticipate constructive engagements and valuable insights that we will undoubtedly gain from the Forum.
