My policy idea: 

My policy idea deals with the promotion of mobile financial services, in order to increase financial inclusion in my country.

Why I came to the Leadership Program:

I was looking for different views on financial inclusion, how people from academia and from other institutions, governments, and countries view financial inclusion.

What I have learned that has been very helpful:
