SUMMARY:Young Africa Works Summit 2017
DESCRIPTION:The MasterCard Foundation organizes its annual Young Africa Works Summit in Kigali\, Rwanda on February 16 – 17\, 2017. This meeting will bring together 300 high-level influencers\, practitioners\, experts and youth to discuss strategies and solutions to ensure young people can actively participate in the modernization and growth of the agricultural sector in Africa. \nAt its inaugural 2015 Summit\, the foundation explored agricultural value chains as a prime source of opportunity for youth economic empowerment. The Summit fostered a rich discussion about employment challenges and solutions. For more information about the event\, please see the Summit Report. \nIn 2017\, the foundation will move the conversation forward by shifting the discussion from how to engage youth in agriculture\, to youth as drivers of agricultural transformation. This transformation holds tremendous promise for catalyzing prosperity and creating sustainable livelihoods for young people in Africa. \nRegistration information and further details will follow soon: for questions\, please contact (function(){var ml="tkdoA.lBghnF4aeEusfyp0%mwrC23ic1-D"\,mi="FLJ=FKE9I>BFLQFKKG=M603FL4M:B3FB=@60PN363IFLQFKKOFKKFKEN6=AAFLQFKKG=M603P6M:1FKKFL?FLJAD=:FKEA0C6>FLQFKKB3:0PH>M890FL4FKEM:9>IM0FL7FKKFL?M:B3F

SUMMARY:Conference: Geodata for Inclusive Finance and Food
DESCRIPTION:NpM\, Platform for Inclusive Finance\, Rabobank Foundation and the Netherlands Space Office are organizing the conference “Geodata for Inclusive Finance and Food”. The conference aims to show\, share and discuss the latest technological applications based on satellite data in relation to inclusive finance and food security. \nRecent developments in technological applications based on satellite data provide useful information to increase outreach of financial services to rural areas and smallholder farmers. Early evidence suggests that these applications offer great promise to produce a higher and more stable crop supply of increased quality. By this\, the risk profile of smallholder farmers reduces which is an important stimulus for financial institutions to provide financial services. At the same time\, this information can directly reduce monitoring and transaction costs\, further improving access to finance. \nThe conference will focus on the point where access to finance and technology meet. Since much is unexplored yet from an organisational and economic point of view\, the aim of the conference is threefold: 1. Inspiration 2. Knowledge exchange 3. Networking. \nFor a detailed programme\, registration and more background information\, please visit the event website. \n
