Financial Education Module for Youth and MSME

The National Bank of Ethiopia, alongside the Mastercard Foundation and First Consult, has developed a standardized national financial education module targeting youth and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This initiative operationalizes the Financial Education Strategy (2021–2025) by delivering structured, interactive learning across ten core modules that cover business planning, budgeting, bookkeeping, savings, investment, financing, digital services, and risk management. The module directly addresses Ethiopia’s fragmented financial literacy landscape by mandating consistent educational materials and delivery channels to achieve a 75% adult awareness target for financial products by 2025.
