The Financial Inclusion Project aims to promote the economic prosperity of low-income women and men in Haiti and the Democratic Republic of Congo by creating a means to increase their income and savings, improve their livelihoods, raise their quality of life, and increase their revenues. Project activities include: (1) increasing the number of people, specifically women, who benefit from financial services through an extension of branches and banking agents and the provision of training; (2) increasing the use of financial services by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those controlled by women; (3) increasing the use of agricultural financial services by agricultural entrepreneurs in Haiti; and (4) improving access to mobile savings services and medical insurance for low-income individuals, particularly women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
