Equity Bank Plc has joined forces with Afri-Global Cooperation Program Ltd (AGCP) to promote financial literacy and sustainable wealth management. The partnership aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their finances effectively and invest wisely.
Under a five-year agreement, Equity Bank staff will collaborate with AGCP experts to train people in financial management, focusing on savings and secure, profitable investments. The initiative is expected to contribute to reducing unemployment in Rwanda and across Africa.
AGCP CEO Michael Shyaka Nyarwaya emphasized that the program seeks to instill a strong savings culture and empower individuals to take control of their financial futures.
“We want to help Rwandans and Africans develop smart financial habits. That’s why we partnered with a leading bank like Equity—to provide both education and practical solutions that will benefit participants in the long run,” he said.
As part of the initiative, beneficiaries will receive training, mentorship, and financial support, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Equity Bank CEO Hannington Namara reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to fostering business growth, particularly by supporting SMEs.
“We are dedicated to strengthening small and medium enterprises because they play a vital role in Rwanda’s economy,” he stated.
Namara added that the collaboration with AGCP will provide significant benefits to participants, contributing to their personal financial growth and the broader economic development of their communities.
