The establishment of Financial Services Associations (FSAs) is integral to enabling access to financial services, fostering economic inclusion, and supporting the activities of AIHs and ATCs in the SAPZ catchment areas. These FSAs will serve as vehicles for promoting savings, credit accessibility, and financial literacy among stakeholders.
To address this gap, the SAPZ Programme aims to facilitate the establishment of Financial Services Associations (FSAs) around the AIHs and ATCs in the initial pilot states of Cross River, Imo, Kaduna, Ogun, and Oyo. These FSAs will be member-owned and driven institutions designed to provide tailored financial services to the agricultural stakeholders within their respective catchment areas, fostering financial inclusion and supporting the growth of the SAPZ ecosystem.
Access to inclusive, affordable, and reliable financial services remains a critical enabler of SAPZ success. To address this, Financial Service Associations (FSAs) are being promoted as community-based financial institutions to mobilize savings, provide credit, build financial discipline, and link rural value-chain actors to formal financial systems.
To ensure FSAs operate sustainably and professionally, there is a need for standardized, comprehensive training curriculum and manuals, including strong emphasis on customer care, member relations, and service excellence.
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive, modular, and competency-based training curriculum and manuals that will capacitate Financial Service Associations (FSAs) to deliver efficient, transparent, inclusive, and customer-focused financial services within SAPZ intervention areas.
