What happens when diverse stakeholders from the DFS ecosystem unite with a shared vision? The remarkable journeys of the Digital Financial Services Working Groups in Malawi and Ethiopia offer a compelling answer. Supported by UNCDF, the European Union (EU), and the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), under the DFS4Resilience programme, these groups transitioned into full-fledged associations, setting a new benchmark for collaboration in the digital financial services sector. Ethiopia and Malawi's DFS Associations have ambitious plans. Their commitment to financial inclusion remains strong as they embrace their new identities. Now as established associations, they face the crucial challenge of sustainability. This session will delve into their plans to become independent, leveraging insights from successful global models to secure long-term financial stability and move beyond their initial reliance on donor support.It will also explore the valuable lessons learned and best practices they hope to leverage to promote financial inclusion for all, with a particular focus on women and marginalized groups. Their journey offers valuable insights into the power of collaboration in driving innovation and financial inclusion, emphasizing the associations' desire to use their experience and best practices to impact national strategies. It also showcases a real-life example of successful transformation through a shared vision for the future of digital financial services.SpeakersNicolas Fichers, Policy Officer, INTPA E3- Private Sector Engagement & EmploymentBram Peters, DFS4Resilience Programme Manager-UNCDFSarah Corley, President, Alliance of Digital Finance AssociationsWilliam Kaunda, DFS Association-Malawi, Board ChairAnthony Brand, MSME Expert, OACPSLanguage: EnglishQ&A session languages: English RegistrationOnsite (InfoPoint)Online (Webex Meetings)
