The Role of Platform Supporters
Members of the FLI platform jointly guide and shape Namibia’s financial education agenda.
At the Annual Strategic Workshop, Platform Supporters give their input and thus steer FLI’s 3-year-strategy. They jointly define target groups, projects and activities. Platform Supporters elect their representation to the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE at the Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, Platform Supporters receive regular updates at quarterly-held “Action Group Meetings” for Personal Finance Education activities and Business Finance Education activities. They are invited to participate in all of FLI’s outreach activities and events to showcase or promote their organizations.
Platform Supporters are also invited to contribute their expertise and technical assistance to the FLI Secretariat team. For example, they may be asked to verify content of specific publications on specialized topics such as insurance, investments, or pension funds.
FLI Platform Supporters come from the public, private and civil society sector. Members from the public and private sector are expected to contribute financially to FLI’s annual budget.
The FLI membership is formalized through the signing of a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between the Platform Supporter and the Ministry of Finance.
