Every year since 2015, FSD Kenya has held a public annual lecture focusing on current and emerging financial sector issues.

Ms. Sanda Ojiambo, who serves as the Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, will deliver the 8th FSD Kenya annual lecture on Thursday the 27th of October 2022 from 4:00 – 7:00pm East Africa Time. 

Join us in our webinar on 25th March 11:00 AM -1:00 PM, when we will share findings of an in-depth study that reviewed the extent to which gender is mainstreamed in Kenya’s finance-related laws and policies.

We take a deep dive into the creative sector, its characteristics, the challenges faced by the players and explore broader market interventions aimed at improving the operating environment of the creative sector as well as possible financial solutions.

Most of Kenya’s Fintech solutions are built on the premise of alternative data sources and information sharing to inform decisions, business models, and monetisation models. With the Data Protection Act now in place and draft regulations published, innovators in Kenya now need to think more deeply about innovation that is balanced with compliance with the law.
