INTERNSHIP – MEDIA, DESIGN, AND COMMUNICATIONS
Background
The UN
Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work for the poor in
the world’s 47 least developed countries (LDCs). UNCDF focuses on Africa and
the poorest countries of Asia, with a special commitment to countries emerging
from conflict or crisis. It provides seed capital – grants and loans – and
technical support to help financial service providers reach more poor
households and small businesses, and local governments finance the capital
investments that will improve poor peoples’ lives.
Financial
inclusion means universal access, at a reasonable cost, to a wide range of
financial services, provided by a variety of sound and sustainable
institutions. The range of financial services includes savings, short and
long-term credit, leasing and factoring, mortgages, insurance, pensions,
payments, local money transfers and international remittances.

UNCDF’s
Financial Inclusion Practice Area (FIPA) in Tanzania is in the process of
creating a country-wide strategy for financial inclusion, focusing broadly on
women’s economic empowerment and access to finance for rural populations. We
are currently implementing a program in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, which aims to
increase access to finance for refugees through savings groups, financial
education, and digital literacy.
