This week Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) from Egypt and SHiFT – Social Innovation Hub from Lebanon have signed the official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aflatoun International!
The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), Egypt
The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) is a public authority with legal status. It plays a vital role in supervising and regulating Egypt’s non-banking financial markets and instruments—including the capital market, insurance services, mortgage finance, financial leasing, factoring, and securitisation. The FRA works to ensure the stability, transparency, and competitiveness of financial markets, making them attractive for both local and foreign investment.
This partnership marks a major step forward in our mission to empower children and youth with social and financial education and aligns with Egypt’s national strategy to integrate Financial Literacy into the formal education system.
Social Innovation Hub (SHiFT), Lebanon
SHiFT is a dynamic hub for social innovation, working at the heart of post-conflict and marginalised areas to turn challenges into opportunities. By empowering local communities, SHiFT is catalysing positive change, transforming fragile areas into resilient, vibrant, and peaceful spaces.
At SHiFT, the belief is simple but powerful: sustainable change begins at the grassroots level. Their platform enables individuals to engage, collaborate, and flourish, ensuring every person—regardless of background—can thrive and contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society.
Through this partnership, Aflatoun and SHiFT will join forces to promote social and financial education for children and young people in Lebanon, especially in vulnerable and underserved communities. Together, we aim to inspire young people to take initiative, build life skills, and drive real change from the ground up.
We’re proud to welcome the Financial Regulatory Authority and SHiFT to the Aflatoun MENA network and look forward to many impactful collaborations ahead!
