Resources

Knowledge sharing is at the heart of our mission. We work with a wide network of Resource Organisations in the sector. Many of the projects we support create and curate resources that advance the savings group sector, helping practitioners, researchers, and communities implement more effective and innovative financial inclusion projects.
