Abstract:
This report is part of a three country study covering Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Senegal. It explores the state of women’s financial inclusion in Francophone countries. The paper presents the environment in which women’s financial inclusion takes place in Senegal; provides information about women’s access to financial services; and assesses the readiness of the financial sector to better serve women. Digital financial services (DFS) are a key driver of the expansion in the use of financial services: mobile money issued by the mobile money operators, as well as digital services provided by banks, MFIs and money transfer operators.
