QUITO, Ecuador—Venezuelan refugees and migrants living in Ecuador now have a greater ability to achieve their financial goals through savings, access to digital services and new products, such as microinsurance, thanks to a collaborative effort by the country’s Board of Financial Policy and Regulation (JPRF), Superintendence of Popular and Solidarity Economy (SEPS) and the USAID/World Council of Credit Unions’ (WOCCU) Economic Inclusion Project.
QUITO, Ecuador—The USAID/World Council of Credit Unions’ (WOCCU) Economic Inclusion Project (EIP) in April joined Transactional Network of Credit Unions (Coonecta) and the Ecuadorian Integration Network of Credit Unions (ICORED) to launch the Financial Education Network in Ecuador—a new program designed to coordinate efforts between the three entities to more effectively promote financial education and inclusion, as well as economic growth.
