Project Description

The project will support Arohan, an MFI working in West Bengal, Bihar and Assam to offer pension products to the low income segments in India. The project will be conducted in two phases: 1. Rolling-out and launch of the pensions product to some of its local branches in a phased manner. 2. Increase the awareness of Arohan's staff and clients about pension products and overall product comprehension. Other efforts include the organization of street plays to address the concept of micro-pensions and what the benefits are for its clients. In addition communication trainings will be conducted for Arohan's staff in order to better understand pension products.
