Background / Role motivation
Established in 2004, the Financial Sector Deepening Trust (FSDT) is a donor-funded financial sector market facilitator that aims to achieve poverty reduction through a transformative financial sector, that offers inclusive and sustainable financial solutions to improve the livelihood, wellbeing, and empowerment of underserved Tanzanians.
