Financial Inclusion

Financial Literacy, Access to Finance, Usage, Choice and Entrepreneurship

Overview

KADDRO aims to improve financial inclusion and economic opportunities for poor and marginalized communities, particularly women and youth. This will be achieved through increased access to formal and informal financial services, such as savings and credit facilities, enabling vulnerable households to strengthen their livelihoods and economic resilience. Key expected results include greater participation of women and youth in financial and economic activities, increased job creation and sustainable SME development, higher household incomes above the poverty line, and reduced reliance on negative coping strategies during financial hardship. The outcome also seeks to enhance financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and business management skills, leading to improved food security and nutrition among poor and marginalized households through stronger financial well-being.
