Financial Sector Deepening Kenya (FSD Kenya) is an independent trust dedicated to the achievement of an inclusive financial system that supports Kenya’s long-term development goals. We work closely with government, the financial services industry and other partners to develop financial solutions that better address the real-world challenges faced by low-income households, enterprises and underserved groups such as women. As a facilitator, FSD Kenya uses the markets systems development (MSD) approach.
FSD Kenya has identified gender and women’s economic empowerment (WEE) as one of the strategic drivers in its 2022-2026 strategy. The intention is to shift to a more transformational approach that puts the issues of women’s financial inclusion (WFI), WEE at the centre of all programme activity. This is a significant shift in how FSD Kenya will determine strategic priorities, activities and results tracking to ensure that women’s needs, and opportunities are the first thing considered.
