ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: 
Based in Nairobi, FSD Africa is a program that promotes financial sector development across Sub-Saharan Africa. Its goal is to reduce poverty. It achieves this by supporting initiatives to improve financial inclusion and by helping financial institutions and markets drive economic growth. It is a market catalyst, supporting processes of change that benefit financial markets in a systemic way. FSD Africa strengthens market capacity: by supporting skills development, by making it easier for market participants to access and use the different types of information on which efficient financial markets depend, and by encouraging investment in financial infrastructure.
ABOUT THE JOB:
