EFInA, established in 2007, is a financial sector development organisation that promotes financial inclusion in Nigeria by supporting innovation, policy reform, and impactful research. The collaboration with FintechNGR, a self-regulatory, non-profit and non-partisan organisation focused on accelerating the growth of Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem, underscores a shared commitment to inclusive finance.
Since its inception, FintechNGR has consistently engaged with regulators such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and National Insurance Commission, alongside government stakeholders, to create an enabling environment for innovation and investment.
The webinar will spotlight opportunities to transform credit access for women, highlighting that solving gender disparities in finance is not only a moral imperative but also a catalyst for broader economic growth.
