Strengthening Financial Inclusion: A Vital Initiative for Tunisia’s Economic Growth Welcome Message from the Director General of the Financial Inclusion Observatory (OIF) Tunisia has made financial inclusion a strategic priority since 2010, recognizing its pivotal role in economic and social development. Financial inclusion is crucial for combating poverty, unemployment, and social exclusion. It aims to provide accessible financial services (payments, savings, credit, insurance) to all citizens, thus fostering inclusive growth and wealth creation. Key Insights: Strategic Importance: Financial inclusion is essential for sustainable development and is emphasized by G20 leaders. National Strategy: Tunisia’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (SNIF 2018-2022) aims to enhance access to financial services for all. Role of OIF: The Observatory, established within the Central Bank Of Tunisia, monitors and evaluates financial inclusion efforts, identifying barriers and recommending policy improvements. Implications for Investors: Economic Growth: Enhanced financial inclusion can lead to broader economic participation, driving growth. Investment Opportunities: Developing financial infrastructure and services presents significant investment opportunities.

Below is a short summary of my reseaech on The Role and Challenges of Youth in Achieving the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): A Case Study of Ethiopia. Introduction: The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a landmark agreement that aims to create a single market for goods and services across Africa, promoting economic integration and enhancing intra-African trade. With its vast potential, the successful implementation of AfCFTA requires the active engagement of various stakeholders, including youth and women. This analysis focuses on the role and challenges faced by youth and women in Ethiopia, shedding light on their potential contributions and identifying obstacles to their full participation in AfCFTA. The Role of Youth: 1. Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Ethiopia's youth can play a crucial role in driving entrepreneurship and innovation, contributing to the growth of industries and sectors. Their fresh perspectives, digital literacy, and exposure to global trends can help unlock new business opportunities and foster economic diversification. 2. Skilled Workforce: Youth represent a significant portion of the labor force in Ethiopia. By equipping them with relevant skills and training, they can contribute to the development of a competitive and productive workforce that meets the demands of AfCFTA. 3. Technology and Digitalization: Youth are often early adopters of technology and can leverage digital platforms to facilitate trade, connect with regional markets, and overcome logistical barriers. Their proficiency in digital tools and social media can enhance market access and promote cross-border collaboration. Challenges Faced by Youth: 1. Limited Access to Finance: Access to finance remains a significant challenge for Ethiopian youth, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Insufficient capital inhibits their ability to start or expand businesses, hampering their potential contributions to AfCFTA. 2. Education and Skills Gap: Inadequate access to quality education and relevant vocational training limits the capabilities of Ethiopian youth. Bridging the education and skills gap is essential to empower them with the necessary knowledge and competencies to participate effectively in AfCFTA. 3. Limited Information and Awareness: Many Ethiopian youth lack awareness of AfCFTA and its potential benefits. Enhancing information dissemination and building youth-oriented platforms for engagement and participation can help overcome this challenge. #AfcFTA #AU Agenda 2063 #Ethiopian Youth #African youth #free Trade

How can we increase domestic financing and Technical resources in Healthcare? This is the focus of the fourth pillar in the New Public Health Order as Outined by the Africa CDC. For Africa to indeed be repositioned in the Global Health Architecture, we must rethink health financing and create sustainable ways of providing financial and technical resources for health services. Glad to have presented some of the findings from deliberations on this amongst other young leaders at #YPC2023 in Lusaka Zambia 🇿🇲 in a 3 mins speed pitch-style session. Our strategies as shared with the Africa CDC included: ⏺️Increased multisectoral financial and economic literacy ⏺️Closing innovation profitability gaps in healthcare ⏺️Accelerating agreements such as the AFCTA to increase domestic economic pool ⏺️Leveraging more on local philanthropy ⏺️Embedding healthcare goals into other sectors to leverage resources accross board On technical expertise ⏺️Leveraging technical talent of youth in academic institutions both within and outside the continent ⏺️Providing necessary training and skills often not taught in regular curriculum that would prepare young people for the future of health care innovation ⏺️Integrating Youth Hubs and societies continentally ⏺️Closing gender gaps in technical education These would require the commitment of all stakeholders including government, private institutions and ministries of health. Together we can provide truly sustainable financing on the continent🌟 What other points do you think should be considered ? #newpublichealthorder #ypc2023 #africacdc #cphia2023 LSE Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa African Union Bingwa Initiative
