The Saïd Business School at the UK’s Oxford University and the US-based NGO Women’s World Banking are conducting a program from April to August 2024 intended to improve financial inclusion by boosting the leadership skills of financial regulators. Senior banking and regulatory officials of all genders are invited to attend alongside a “high-potential woman leader from their institution.” Over the course of the program, the two will develop policies that promote financial inclusion for women. The process is to include: (1) customized consultations; (2) peer partnerships; and (3) group sessions conducted in-person during the first week of June as well as online at other times. Participants will present their work at the Global Policy Forum to be held by the Malaysia-based Alliance for Financial Inclusion in El Salvador in September 2024.
The cost to attend is USD 8,000 per pair, which includes accommodations and most meals. The deadline to apply is December 31, 2023.
