  7. Project ImplicationsCan the YouthSave project contribute? • Generate evidence required to influence policy development and curriculum development for in and out of school youths • Develop an appropriate product that children can access independently through a trusted administration system (school, DO), make it accessible • Embed a strong financial capability component into the project, disseminated through PostBank and agents, DEO’s, school clubs • Consistently evaluate the consumer protection issues, use biometric data for identification • Incorporate FEPP and the Ministry of Finance in the oversight of the project, advocate and push for innovation.
