Notes from the Field
ACCESS AFRICA: "An African Movement for African People"
by Andisheh Nouraee Access Africa’s second annual learning event opened today in Accra, Ghana.
Today through Thursday, we plan to review Access Africa’s strategy and methodology in the 28 African countries where CARE's signature program now operates. Just as the name suggests, the agenda is improvement through learning. With 2.5 million participants in 28 countries across the continent, the people at this meeting have had a wide diversity of experience to share with each other. “It’s an African movement for African people,” said Access Africa program director Lauren Hendricks in her opening remarks. “Everything we know about how to do [savings-led microfinance services] and how to reach the people most in need, we’ve learned from the people in this room.” Today’s agenda: reviewing Access Africa’s growth targets and best practices for our continued expansion. With 2.5 million participants, Access Africa is already the largest non-governmental organization providing savings-led financial services in Africa. CARE with our Access Africa program is on pace to reach 30 million women and men in Africa with financial services by 2019. With the entire household benefiting from these services, that’s 150 million people moving out of poverty! _____________________________________________________ Learn more about Access Africa >
