UNCDF engaged MSC to understand the effects of financial and non-financial services that financial service providers offer to youth under the Youth Start program. MSC helped develop, pilot test, and roll out youth-focused financial products. Ten FSPs participated in a training and follow-up support program delivered by MSC, which helped them develop targeted products for youth—particularly young women and girls. Of the total program beneficiaries, 86% declared having improved financial capabilities and 90% claimed an improved ability to save.
