FinMark Trust, with the assistance of a team from the consulting firm Genesis Analytics, developed a Financial Education ToolKit. This is an abridged version of the FE ToolKit pack. Interest in financial education (FE) has increased across the world and it is now widely recognised as an effective tool to help the poor manage their little and irregular finances. However, impact studies have shown that for FE to be an effective tool, it needs to be tailored to the needs of the people it is aiming to help. Given that research has shown that the ability to make wise financial decisions and people’s level of financial wellbeing improve with the level of their financial literacy, it was opportune for FinMark Trust to examine the current FE programmes available in an attempt to help identifying best practices and provide guidance for adapting FE programmes to be more effective and at the same time provide general learning’s for designing and implementing effective FE programmes.
