YouthStart’s most recent publication, ‘Building the Business Case for Youth Financial Services: Further Insights from the YouthStart Programme,’ is a concise summary of an elaborate study executed by the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management on the business case for youth financial services (YFS) in selected financial service providers (FSPs) of sub-Saharan Africa.

The publication outlines the importance of YFS for sub-Saharan Africa, provides the reader with three case studies tackling the profitability question of youth savings and loans with integrated financial education components, and offers recommendations for future endeavours. The publication, which is clear and accessible, will be of interest to a wide audience, from FSPs and practitioners, national and international NGOs, to central banks and other policy-setting bodies
