🌍 On 28 September, we will celebrate the #InternationalAccessToInformationDay, a cornerstone for building just societies, enhancing knowledge, and fostering sustainable development. 🔑 Access to information empowers individuals to make informed decisions and fully engage in their communities. At #Scale2Save, in partnership with L-IFT and EFInA, we are proud to contribute to these efforts with the Persona Segmentation Toolkit 👉https://lnkd.in/eZh646K7. This innovative tool enables financial institutions, market shapers and policy makers to leverage EFInA’s financial access data alongside demographic and socio-economic household data in a practical, accessible way. The toolkit also explores the financial behaviors of younger segments (aged 15-30) using financial diaries data, offering deep insights into livelihoods, spending, and cash flow patterns over time. 🌟 Key advantages of the toolkit: - Identify business opportunities in underserved segments like smallholder farmers, informal traders, and youth. - Gain insights into customer characteristics, such as livelihoods, income, and financial portfolios. - Support strategic business development and product innovation processes. Our next steps are to integrate tools that build climate resilience. Together, we are shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future. 🌱 📩 Céline Stevens #AccessToInfoDay #FinancialInclusion #ClimateResilience #InclusiveFinance
