@Mati1619 CICO agents may sound technical, but they solve a basic problem: access. They help people deposit and withdraw money close to home, especially where branches and ATMs are far away. That’s why they matter for financial inclusion

@MicroSave Wait, why are we focusing so much on CICO agents? Sounds kinda complicated, right?

Millions of people rely on CICO agents for financial access. Yet, social norms, safety risks, & operational barriers limit women’s ability to enter & sustain these roles. Explore MSC’s work on the CICO ecosystem: lnkd.in/gwwRCaHU & learn how these barriers affect women.
