The Financial Literacy Initiative (FLI) is a national platform to enhance financial education for individuals and micro-small- and medium sized enterprises. Currently, the FLI consists of more than 25 Platform Supporters from the Namibian public, private and civil society sector aimed at working in a coordinated effort to improve the financial capability of all Namibians. The FLI was initiated by the Ministry of Finance and several Platform Supporters on 15 March 2012.

FLI’s Vision: “An improved quality of life and a narrowed economic divide achieved through financially capable, assertive and well-protected Namibians.”

FLI’s Objectives

1. Namibians are better financially educated and capacitated to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives.
2. Namibians are able to choose and appropriately use the best financial products and/or services for their specific needs.
3. Namibians understand and act upon their rights and responsibilities within the financial sector; they know about and make use of the appropriate recourse mechanisms.
4. FLI projects are monitored and evaluated in terms of their efficiency; the FLI actively promotes and conducts research in the area of financial literacy of its projects and does research into financial capability.
