Participants will be supported by the National Financial Education Secretariat to develop and implement community-based financial literacy projects, and will take part alongside Central Bank of Seychelles staff in financial education activities. The cohort will run until the end of May 2026. The first edition of the Y4Y Financial Education Ambassadors programme was launched in 2021 with 43 participants.
