Youssaou Koanda
Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
Financial inclusion is a critical driver of poverty reduction, an enabler of business development, and shared opportunities. Especially in developing countries, the introduction of technology support financial services has unlocked opportunities for excluded individuals: However, the technology generates a specific resistance to adopt the services that make financial educators more critical, beyond only teaching personal finance management. I am committed to advocating for innovative financial product adoption in developing countries as a tool for sound personal and business finance management.
