Financial education in Burundi
In Burundi , financial education (FE), which is a non-financial service offered by Micro-Finance Institutions (MFIs ) and banks in general and other actors in the capacity building of women for financial inclusion, has a great importance in the economy of the country.
Financial education is the understanding of knowledge related to how money is earned, spent and saved, as well as the skills and ability to use financial resources to make informed and effective decisions with all available resources.
There are several studies, reports and other reference tools on financial inclusion and education on interventions led and implemented by different actors.
The results of the various documents show that the level of inclusion and financial education of women in Burundi are not satisfactory.
