Episode 42: Growing Credit Union Financial Inclusion Through WOCCU Global Programs
Description
This month’s episode of the podcast focuses on how technical specialists with World Council of Credit Unions’ (WOCCU) Global Programs' teams are growing financial inclusion through credit unions in developing
nations.
Nearly 20 of the specialists gathered in Washington, D.C. in early October for WOCCU’s annual Project Administrators Workshop, or “PAWS”. You’ll hear from more than a dozen voices who are working to bring financial inclusion to last mile credit union members and other vulnerable populations in seven developing nations across Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
Hear how they share similar challenges, learn from one another and take that knowledge back to their
project countries to further grow the credit union movement.
