The Bank of Zambia has established a framework to collect and analyze sex-disaggregated data, aiming to assess financial service access, identify barriers to women’s inclusion, and inform national policy. The circular requires all commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, and payment system service providers to nominate two staff members to attend a dedicated data collection workshop on June 7, 2018. Financial service providers must actively participate in the subsequent survey to support the achievement of Zambia’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy.
