Capacity Building and Knowledge Product on Gender-Sensitive Financial Consumer Protection

The objective of the project is to understand the current practices and gaps in addressing gender related financial consumer protection risks, run awareness-raising workshops and develop a policy document building on these best practices, and including practical recommendations.

The overall goal of this project is to strengthen the technical capacity of AFI member institutions which are financial sector regulators to effectively design, implement and monitor effective gender-sensitive financial consumer protection policies.

The consultant will be required to work with AFI members and other key stakeholders towards coming up with the deliverables. The assignment entails the following:

  • One desk review to assess the landscape of consumer protection regulations and policies implemented by central banks and financial regulators in AFI member countries to take into account specific issues faced by different genders
  • Two virtual workshops for AFI members and the wider stakeholder community on gender-sensitive financial consumer protection aiming to bring together national regulators to discuss the current state of gender-sensitive financial consumer protection, identify gaps and opportunities, and develop action plans for implementation in their respective countries. The virtual workshops will be organized and implemented by AFI management unit with the technical support and contributions from the consultant as follows:
  • One technical publication aimed to provide financial regulators and policy makers in LMICs with actionable recommendations for designing, implementing, and monitoring effective gender-sensitive financial consumer protection policies. This publication will be reviewed by three different teams who all may provide feedback so two rounds of edits may be required.
