As the Africa Director for Digital Financial Services for Opportunity International, Nick Meakin is responsible for overseeing the implementation and scale up of Mobile and Agent banking deployments and other digital inclusion engagements throughout Opportunity International’s partners in Africa.
These solutions serve people—disproportionately women—who are often illiterate and living without running water or electricity. They are remarkable women whose lives have been marked by difficulty, but whose lives have been changed by technology.
During our call Nick will share some of the ways Opportunity is changing the lives of our clients with technology and future opportunities to scale and reach for digital solutions.
We can use the tools that we have already developed—and the ones that haven’t been invented yet—to help small-holder farmers, keep kids in school, and break the cycle of multi-generational poverty. The Digital Financial Services team will continue to focus on groups of people that are often late to the digital revolution—mainly rural communities and women.
