Innovative and effective financial education initiative - Kenya
When Kenyans think ‘retirement’ they think ‘THE END’!
To many Kenyans, aging is to be avoided at all costs:
– e.g dying their hair to look young
It’s not socially acceptable to age. Old age is feared
What Kenyans fear they ignore
Communication Testimonial Reassurance Campaign
Targeted Messaging Reassuring different segments that retirement is cool – especially to the YOUNG WORKERS
•Young people talking happily about retiring after saving to enjoy life
•Young people discussing the tangible benefits of saving through a pension scheme e.g. assigning a portion of their benefits to accessing mortgage
• A calculator that ‘goes’ into the future to show you how much you will have saved depending on how much you wish to save each month and the duration.

The main barriers
preventing
financial education
programmes from
reaching all young
people in France
Financial education :
is not integrated in the curricula
is not integrated in the initial and in-service training of teachers and principals
is left to the initiative of some teachers and so is not compulsive : a source of inequity
is not a priority for French parents, who are mostly focused on what they call “the basic skills”
Two powerful French institutions are fighting against interdisciplinarity and cross-curricular competencies : the General Inspectorate in charge of the programs at the national level and some conservative and powerful teachers' unions, controlling the recruitment of teachers also at a national and regional level.
OECD Symposium on Financial Education November 4th-6th
+
Ways of overcoming
these barriers
To enable students to develop an awareness of, have autonomy ,
the ability to make choices and take personal responsibility for
their financial future and so discover their own motivations and
potential - we have to involve companies in the daily life of the
schools.
In the school of the 21st century, we have to enable teachers to
work with assistants and external partners, thus practising
teamwork with European institutions, research institutes,
universities, science centres, companies , associations involved in
science, arts, financial education, ...
We should take some successful and inspiring practices in Europe into account, mostly introduced by a public-private partnership – Foundation - initiating change at school.
OUR PROPOSAL :
USE of the 3 weekly hours at the disposal of the municipalities
to organize activities developing “soft skills” such as communication, teamwork, decision-making, organizational skills and self-confidence
through scientific experimentations, coding, financial and
entrepreneurial education and the practice of English for all
French children between 5 and 12 years.

PlaNet Finance’s approach to financial education
75
PlaNet Finance has an approach centered on durable social development through programs which
involve microfinance, education, health, environmental protection and support for agricultural value
chains.
Our approach to financial education
Financial education provides
individuals with the knowledge, skills
and attitudes required to adopt good
money management practices.
It plays a critical role in helping
people manage and preserve their
resources while working towards
their financial goals.
Financial education benefits both
low-income customers and
financial institutions.
THE INITIATIVE FOR EMBEDDED
FINANCIAL EDUCATION (IEFE):
Our approach aims to help institutions to
embed financial education services
seamlessly into their existing operations,
to ensure ongoing implementation at low
running costs.
The embedded approach is centred on
understanding both customers’ needs
and the financial institutions’ objectives.
By pin-pointing interactions with clients
along the business process and turning
these into teachable moments, the
methodology helps inclusive financial
institutions to integrate financial
education services into their value
proposition. This approach leverages the
customer interest in a financial product
into a teachable moment when there is a
higher level of receptiveness to an
educational message.
• E.g. educational short films
shown in branches
Marketing
• E.g. budgeting handbook
• E.g. in-branch training
sessions
Credit evaluation
• E.g. educational cartoon
series
• E.g. educational SMS
campaigns

Citizens Advice
Money skills ‘champions’ project
Citizens Advice combined its financial education expertise
with the experience of leading youth organisations to deliver
this Barclays funded project in the UK between 2011 and
2014.
The project increased the financial awareness of 16-24 year
olds, particularly NEET (not in Education, Employment, or
Training) young people, through an innovative peer
education model.
Young people were trained as 'champions' improving their
financial knowledge and capability, and equipping them with
the skills to share this information with their peers.

Money skills ‘champions’ project
With the
proposed cuts
and changes
to benefits, I
believe there
will be even
more people
who need help
from CAB in
the future.
5,200 young people trained as ‘champions’.
120,000 young people reached in total through peer education.
76% of 'champions' said they were now saving at least £5 per month, compared to 24%
before the programme.
120 Citizens Advice Bureaux involved in training the ‘champions’ using their existing
financial education skills to extend their services to young people.

Launched in 2009
Total volunteers: 500+
Total reach: 760,000 young people
Financial education programme targeting to raise the financial
literacy level of young people aged 15 to 30
The project is implemented in 72
cities accross Turkey
@paraniyonet paramiyonetebiliyorum www.paramiyonetebiliyorum.net
• Sectoral initiatives work better than individual ones
Visa Europe’s member banks in Turkey came together and join their forces for a social cause
• Strong and dedicated partnerships perform
It works best when the state, international organisations, NGOs and the private sector join
forces
• Peer to peer education model works
Creating a familiar environment where young trainees feel much more at ease to participate
and ask questions
• Social media increases engagement
Social media is the perfect tool to reach the young generation and is an ideal platform where
they can easily discuss and share their opinions
• Segmentation works
A single training content may not fit all – training curriculum should address the needs of
different age groups
Learnings and differentiating points
