Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA)
Empowering South Africans through collaboration, education, and financial resilience.
Securing Financial Well-being
The National Consumer Financial Education Committee (NCFEC)—a collaborative entity including the FPI—spearheads MSWSA to drive active involvement and coordination in consumer financial education. Their mission is clear:
- Motivate & Empower: Encouraging South Africans to take a proactive approach to their personal finances.
- Build Resilience: Providing the knowledge and skills necessary to make sound financial decisions in a complex economy.
Global Context, Local Relevance
MSWSA is inspired by Global Money Week (GMW), a worldwide celebration dedicated to empowering young people. In South Africa, this initiative takes on even greater significance due to unique socio-economic challenges:
2022 Theme
“Build your future, be smart about money.” This theme is adapted with local sub-themes to ensure it resonates with the South African landscape.
Why It Matters
SA faces high rates of youth unemployment and low household savings. Financial literacy is the primary tool to combat these systemic issues.
