Developing a 3-Year Bank Strategy for Financial Literacy Programme
Developing an Inclusive Financial Literacy Strategy
ConsumerCentriX supported DSIK by developing a financial education strategy as a part of the Financial Literacy and Institutional Strengthening of the Microfinance Sector program in Mozambique.
We developed an inclusive financial literacy strategy for a bank, which included general action items that can be widely implemented the support customers with low or no literacy levels and increase their financial literacy skills and knowledge. The program takes into consideration the social challenges faced by customers due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and proposes sustainable mitigation measures.
Our Methodology
We used a three-dimensional approach to identify needs, gaps, and actions in the strategy framework.

In partnership with a local consulting company, CCX developed a list of recommendations and concrete activities for a 3-year financial literacy staretgy that aligns with the bank’s business strategy.
