@myoralvillage and @ilcufoundation have developed an OIM passbook for innumerate villagers in Sierra Leone, and it is getting results!
Thank you ILCUF for inviting me to share our story at the AGM of the Irish League of Credit Unions.

Really enjoyed the visit to @UCDPsychology today, sharing ideas about #oimtools, numeracy and #financialinclusion, and a great follow-up chat with @DrFlaviaHSantos. So much to talk about!
These "Oral Information Management" tools developed & launched with @myoralvillage will help BOMA participants develop financial literacy skills — imperative for any successful #Entrepreneur! #Partnership #OIMTools #BetterTogether #Education #Empowerment #Finance
Our 'OIM' record book for the business groups of women in extreme poverty at the @BOMAProject is out! These unschooled women can identify the book as their own, using a 'mark' they have crafted themselves.
Once they can write numbers, they can keep business records!

Thanks to FinEquity @WFIchampions for highlighting our work at My Oral Village on #financialnumeracy and #oimtools.
Let's do what it takes to count women 'in'!

Let this be the last beautiful date that a billion adults can't decode. We can all be part of the solution! #financialnumeracy #oimtools
63% of women who come to agent point for transaction are accompanied by somebody compared to only 16% men. #SocialNorms & #Mobility are still important constraints for true #FinancialInclusion of #women in India. https://t.co/tD0ZAdzsnm #MSCAnalytics @rahul2017_13 @akhandjtiwari
If we want financial inclusion to reduce inequality, we have to remove the digital hieroglyphics we are using to communicate with poorly schooled women!
The barrier is not 'access'. It is 'media'!
Let's fix it!

Poor beneficiary awareness contributes to misappropriation of government payments for social benefits. Read more https://t.co/cmDtwzLAjP to learn how a #DigitalReadinessAssessment can help to prepare beneficiaries for #digital payments
Strangely, this 'in-depth' article on why most accounts 'go unused' neglects to point out that a large fraction of the new owners - around half - can't read the financial records provided to them.
And this problem is easier to solve that many others. Let's do it! #oimtools
Poor people don't need advice from those who have never been poor about how to manage their money. They need a fair chance to understand how the interface works that they depend on to save, to pay bills and to borrow.
'Financial literacy' ignores this.

@MicroSave @myoralvillage @NextBillionFH @NPCI_NPCI @RBI @NFEC_FinEdu @gatesfoundation @akhandjtiwari @nitish_narain @CGAP @UNCDF Insensitive and redundant. There is no one who knows how to budget and save better than those for whom these words are not 'nouns' but survival, they are 'verbs' that is ways of being a s acting to live, if you will. So, yes, very valid point raised @akhandjtiwari @MicroSave.
Can we develop a safe and convenient syntax to achieve digital inclusion in nations with many languages? Here our associates @aqeelumarhayat and @djmyhre explores how #OIMtools may offer more effective and inclusive solutions than #voice.

@RencapMan A huge population can't read multi-digit numbers worth between US $10-$100 in their currencies. 'Mount Zero' is the toughest cognitive peak in our 'global village'.
Let's measure it-& get a billion adults over it!

Usability = guessability + learnability + memorability + re-learnability.
All these can be tested and validated with oral adults.
It is good to see formal testing from Samia Ibtasam and her team. https://t.co/o52U6dhqCh

Providing access to technology doesn’t guarantee that people will use it. More than 1 billion people globally cannot read or write, or understand the long number strings necessary to transact in the digital age.

At @myoralvillage we strongly agree. It is our passion to help women out of poverty. Both due to poorer schooling, and social pressures and expectations that induce greater math anxiety, this is a huge problem for #financialinclusion. But there are solutions!

We believe graduation is a vital tool to ending poverty.
#OIMTools for building skills in #financialnumeracy and personal transaction management are on the path to a truly sustainable graduation model!

An opinion piece by @akhandjtiwari and @Abhishek_BE_HCD asks financial service providers to design products for women specifically-instead of treating them as just a channel to reach families.
They advocate use of #oimtools, pioneered by @myoralvillage!
