Provision of Creative Services to FSD Zambia

About the organisation

Zambian Financial Sector Deepening Limited (FSD Zambia) is a Zambian organisation working closely with key players throughout the economy to ensure that all Zambians are financially healthy, particularly the most excluded and underserved. We help rural families, women, youth, low-income people, and other households in Zambia to understand and access a wide range of sustainable, comparable and affordable financial services. To expand financial inclusion, we collaborate with both public and private sector institutions to make financial markets work better. FSD Zambia enhances trust between clients and suppliers of financial services by helping to bring people together, cultivate understanding, stimulate innovation, and lower costs. In this way, all women, men, girls and boys can learn about, choose, and use a wide range of financial services that have the most positive impact on their lives. FSD Zambia enjoys the active support of financing partners UK Aid, SIDA, Rural Finance Expansion Programme (RUFEP) and Comic Relief/Jersey Overseas Aid.

Background

FSD Zambia believes there is no powerful way of promoting our work and communicating our impact with our strategic audiences than through sharing case studies of real people and stories using creative mediums such as short video documentaries, vibrant imagery, motion graphics, animation and others. The audience for these case studies comprises; donors, government, Financial Service Providers, rural and low-income communities and the general public. The overall objective of these case studies is to summarise FSD Zambia’s activities at the community level and to document the impact on low-income people and learnings for the ecosystem of Financial Service Providers (FSPs) in Zambia. Hearing directly from the community beneficiaries themselves through creative mediums effectively illustrates the impact of our projects on individual lives of low-income women and men in Zambia.
