FSD Uganda interventions continue to create an enabling policy and regulatory environment for the financial inclusion of underrepresented groups. We build the capacity of policy makers, regulators, and industry associations to ensure they are equipped to respond to the needs of tomorrow’s financial markets while serving today’s consumer effectively. Our targeted support for efficient financial market infrastructure and processes will help reduce friction in the movement of money within the economy, with the goal of transferring these efficiency gains to the consumer.
