Summary

In this technical note, FINCA Uganda and Hatton National Bank Sri Lanka (HNB) explore key components
and issues around the institutionalization of youth financial services, based on their individual experiences. Topics that are explored include key considerations, steps, and challenges of institutionalization.
While some universal aspects of institutionalization are covered, this document primarily examines
