Kathmandu, June 20:
National Banking Institute (NBI) has
signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Aflatoun International; a
Netherlands based NGO, on Wednesday in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The agreement was signed between the
Chief Executive Officer of NBI and Aflatoun International, Sanjib Subba and
Roeland Monasch respectively.
With this MoU, NBI now has access to
rich repository of financial literacy tools developed by Aflatoun.
The overall objectives of the MoU
are to organise social and financial education for children and young people
through partnership in planning, implementing and developing collaboration for advocacy,
stakeholder engagement and development of social and financial education, said
the NBI.
The Netherland-based Aflatoun is a
global leader in Financial Literacy curriculum development since its inception
in 1991 in Mumbai, India.
Aflatoun International is offering
social and financial education to children and young people worldwide. Through
a strong network of 275 partners and 35 governments, the organization reaches
and teaches over 8.6 million children and young people each year in more than
100 countries. Aflatoun International creates high-quality curricula, for
different age groups, which can be contextualized to local needs or specific
circumstances.
With this collaboration, the NBI expects
to extend its reach in Financial Literacy for Nepal through advocacy and
communication, development of curriculum and training materials, technical
assistance and learning research, monitoring and evaluation.
