Regarding the training, young people were provided with knowledge about “the importance of financial literacy for the empowerment of young people”, “digital financial services”, “the different payment methods and Mobile Money”.
"There is an urgent need for young people to relate knowledge, understanding and application of financial concepts that will allow them to manage money well and also align with the dimension of digital inclusion“, considered the deputy director of the AIJ.
