Women are apt custodians of land and forest. While men often own the land, women feed communities. Food sovereignty starts with women owning seeds and accessing land and training.

Interpay Africa: „Savings Groups are not just about money.“ And banks have limited time for social capital, advocacy and empowerment.
Mismatch of interests? #SG2018 @TheSEEPNetwork @SavingsFrontier

[World Without Amazon @PaulRippey]

Ross: “I don’t know if people really understand what a bank is for. The mandate of banks is to provide services in a sustainable way to return dividends to the shareholders.” Very frank argument that forming groups is not part of the banking business. #sg2018

Sukhwinder: Change is coming, people will vote with their feet. I can’t disagree... #sg2018

[Hanna Laufer @anouk_monde]

Sukhwinder Arora opening the debate: Should financial institutions take responsibility for the formation and support of savings groups? #SG2018 @SavingsFrontier @TheSEEPNetwork

[Hanna Laufer @anouk_monde]

Indeed, lucky to have the godfather of a seasoned South African Savings Group NGO attend #SG2018. Good source for sense checks and demonstrated calm approach to driving progress and navigating sector trends. https://t.co/OBSvRfLN2x #SG2018 @TheSEEPNetwork @SavingsFrontier https://t.co/nerOuTL5xw

Anton Krone stresses need of financial education to accompany CTs. #sg2018

[Hanna Laufer @anouk_monde]

How can we get better at visibly linking cost centers such as "listening to clients" to shorter- and medium-term profits for banks? E.g. put a robust price tag on effective product design and increased usage rates? #AskingForAFriend #SG2018 @TheSEEPNetwork @SavingsFrontier

The CEO of TPB, a Tanzanian Bank, and Care Tanzania are making a business case for banking savings groups at #SG2018. It’s all about listening, speaking the same language and reducing costs through the use of technology. @TheSEEPNetwork @SavingsFrontier
