Financial Literacy Needs Assessment
Welcome to The Youth Cafe Financial Literacy Certification Program!!
The Youth Café aims to pilot a financial literacy intervention program for youth. This will be key in addressing the unique problems young men and women face and help them navigate the financial real world. The information collected using this form will be used to understand youth financial attitude, behavior and influences and will be used as a guide to our financial literacy program.
To be able to do so, you are invited to answer this survey as we would love to hear your unique experiences and understanding of financial literacy. Youth between the age of 18-35 are greatly encouraged to participate.
Harms
There are minimal risks involved with this survey. However, you may feel that some of the questions in discussion are sensitive for you. If you are uncomfortable with any questions or think if they are personal you can choose to not answer them. Some questions however are compulsory.
Benefits
We hope that the information we learn from you will help us to understand the state of youth financial literacy in Kenya. You as an individual may or may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Privacy and Confidentiality
The information provided by you will be kept confidential. The team will make every effort to protect your privacy and maintain the privacy of all the information that you provide to me. No one will be told that you participated in the study. The information will be used for the purpose of research only so we may spearhead the program.
