During Global Money Week 2022, financial literacy awareness sessions were offered for children, youth and for adults, mostly through digital means. This included sessions and campaigns in social media. A special Facebook live event was organised at a regional level in countries where the Grupo Financiero FICOHSA has a presence.

During Global Money Week 2022 REDCAMIF focused on promoting digital financial education for inclusive finance. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards digitalisation, including in the delivery of financial education. The shift to digital media represents an opportunity to reach more people, but at the same time, it can provide limited opportunities for direct interaction and increase the risk of leaving behind people with limited access to digital devices or low levels of digital literacy.

REDCAMIF organised the following activities during GMW2022: online games on financial education, contest or competition on financial topics, presentation and virtual talks, empower Human Talent on financial topics, visits to local businesses, savings contests.

SPTF and REDCAMIF made available to microfinance institutions (MFIs) that already have the EDUFIN Programme, four free videos on digital financial education. Therefore, the clients of these institutions and their families were able to access the digital educational content. This information helped customers get introduced to and become familiar with these new technology trends.
