Government Engagement

The specific objective of government engagement is to promote the integration of financial inclusion in the planning and implementation processes of the national and provincial governments. Government engagement to support financial inclusion activities gained momentum by signing memorandum of understandings with Provincial Governments. Memorandum of understandings were signed with the Provincial Governments of West New Britain, East New Britain, Milne Bay and New Ireland. The engagement at the provincial level will be spearheaded and overseen by Financial Inclusion Steering Committee constituted (FISC) at the provincial level. The committee will prioritise the financial inclusion initiatives and get the political support to implement the initiatives. CEFI will provide the required technical support to the steering committee
