Toronto Leadership Centre: Financial Sector Inclusion and Resiliency
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 200,000 to Toronto Leadership Centre for work in Rwanda, Zambia and Sierra Leone, dated 18 August 2020.
Overview
The Toronto Leadership Centre will continue its work with Comic Relief and Jersey Overseas Aid to support the Bank of Zambia in strengthening its social safety net programme, enacted in part in response to Covid-19. It will do this by building a risk-based supervisory Framework with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zambia. The goal is to future-proof safety nets and ensure that there are fewer vulnerable individuals slipping through the net. Additionally, the Toronto Leadership Centre will also undertake a large multi-country research study which seeks to determine how Covid-19 and policies have affected delivery of financial services and financial inclusion efforts.
