3.0 COMMUNITY MEETING IN NAIROBI
Mr. Innocent Ephraim reviewed the proposal to engage local stakeholders and identify a lead institution to champion the Convening with their government and banks.
Mr. Oriko reports that the Foundation welcomes this but isn’t sure how to implement.
Coordinated by IPSL or Central Bank, Kenya Bankers Association, gov’t agency/dept responsible for Financial Inclusion.
There is a need to create a value proposition for Conveners. Suggestions were as follows:
Benefits for convener: co-branding, financial inclusion agenda and alignment, opportunity to shape national policy or their agenda as co-created during engagement
No financial commitment would be required from conveners. MLF would request that they invite local entities and help to co-create the agenda.
The Program Committee should include representatives from Central Bank Kenya, FSD Kenya, and Fintech association.
Mr. Oriko recommended a call with Mr. Victor Malu once scope and value prop is complete to determine the best way to approach Central Bank of Kenya. Mr. Ephraim will also participate, and Mr. Oriko requested additional Community Council members join if able.
ACTION: Mr. Oriko will draft a document outlining Benefits to and expectations of conveners and share with community council members for review before approaching Central Bank Kenya for a meeting.
4.0 ADJOURN: Meeting adjourned at 9:58 AM ET.
