Listen Now: UNCDF and Digital Frontiers Institute: Women in Inclusive Finance and Policy Regulation with Nishanie Mohammed and Bram Peters

This podcast episode is part of a broader collaboration between ⁠UNCDF⁠ and the ⁠Digital Frontiers Institute⁠ under the DFS4Res programme. Together, UNCDF and Digital Frontiers Institute have trained several professionals, many of them women, in areas such as AML/CFT, blockchain, consumer protection, and digital finance regulation. These alumni are now applying their knowledge to shape more inclusive and resilient financial systems. The podcast continues the momentum from the joint webinar by UNCDF and ⁠Digital Frontiers⁠, “⁠Scaling Impact Through Women in DFS: Policy, Regulation, and Innovation in Action⁠“, and provides a deeper dive into the webinar discussion.

This episode will explore how investing in women’s leadership can transform the future of digital finance by reshaping regulatory systems and unlocking more inclusive financial ecosystems.

Guests:

• Nishanie Mohammed, a DFI alumna and a regulatory professional whose training has empowered her to influence policy in meaningful ways, and
• Bram Peters, UNCDF Programme Manager, who shares the vision behind this capacity building and its importance to UNCDF’s strategic vision.

Together, they will unpack how building women’s expertise is shifting regulatory conversations from technical compliance to powerful tools for inclusion, innovation, and economic transformation.
