About the Webinar:
The pandemic has raised the profile of digital financial services, which have enabled amazingly rapid distribution of social support funds and may provide a path forward for delivering financial services safely and at scale. But there are important questions left to consider about the roll-out and ultimate impact of DFS. This edition of faiVLive brings together expert practitioners and researchers to address these questions, ranging from the impact of DFS on MFIs to digital security.

Tamara Cook, CEO, FSDKenya
Salah Goss, SVP, Government & Development, Mastercard
Moonmoon Shehrin, Digital Cluster Manager, Microfinance, BRAC
Gregory Chen, Lead Financial Sector Specialist, CGAP
Graham Wright, Group Managing Director, MSC

Support:
This faiVLive is part of the Small and Medium Enterprise Insight Community, supported by the Mastercard Impact fund, and in collaboration with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth

Editor’s Note: I’m going to assume that you are seeing plenty of AI content (news and papers, not AI slop, though I’m sure you’re getting plenty of that too) from other sources, so I’m trying to think hard about the marginal value that the faiV can provide. As far as I’ve gotten so far: a) make sure that directly AI-related content does not take up more than 2 of the 5 items, and b) try to focus specifically on the cybersecurity issue for financial inclusion. Beyond that, I’m open to feedback on the value you get from the faiV in relation to AI to help guide us in the future. On a different note, I’ll be making a brief cameo appearance at the e-MFP Inclusive Finance Conference to moderate the opening plenary. If you haven’t registered, do so and I hope to see you there! - Tim Ogden
