Key Features of Phase II
This phase expands outreach beyond the first, introducing interactive training modules. It collaborates with grassroots organisations to maximise impact. The focus is on practical skills such as savings, investment safety, fraud prevention, and digital transactions. Training is delivered in local languages for better comprehension.
