Dear Colleagues,



For those of you who have not already seen this, I wanted to bring to
your attention an event that is potentially of interest.



The half day forum will explore these accounts from two perspectives:
youth development and financial inclusion and will also release a new
report, "Youth Savings in Developing Countries: Trends in Practice, Gaps
in Knowledge." We're providing lunch and the event will also conclude
with a cocktail reception.



For those of you not based in DC, as always we will webcast this event
live (no need to RSVP to watch on webcast).



If you're having trouble viewing the invitation forwarded below, here
the url to the event page:
http://www.newamerica.net/events/2010/youth_savings_accounts ('http://www.newamerica.net/events/2010/youth_savings_accounts')



All best,



Jamie



PS. I know a lot of you are on multiple lists, so I sincerely apologize
for cross posting and any related flooding of your in boxes!

Low-income youth -- one of the world's largest and most vulnerable
populations -- need new tools to achieve social and economic
development. A small yet growing number of practitioners, policymakers,
and scholars are exploring whether savings services could be one such
tool. Evidence from the asset-building field in both developed and
developing countries suggests savings accounts could promote youth
development. More recently, the microfinance field has begun to consider
whether youth savings accounts could accelerate financial inclusion
efforts in the poorest nations in the world.

Join the YouthSave Consortium and The MasterCard Foundation at a forum
to explore whether and to what extent youth savings accounts could
achieve goals at the nexus of youth development and financial inclusion.
The consortium report "Youth Savings in Developing Countries: Trends in
Practice, Gaps in Knowledge" will also be released at this event.

Lunch provided. Guests are invited to a cocktail reception immediately
following the event.

**This event will be webcast live on the New America Foundation event
