Here is more about Prabhat:
Prabhat Labh is an international development expert with over two decades of experience in leading programs and initiatives across Asia, Africa and North America. Prabhat brings deep domain knowledge in financial inclusion, enterprise and livelihoods development. Driven by the core values of equity, diversity, empathy and respect, Prabhat has been focused on understanding the complex lives of low income people and challenges and barriers faced by them. He has used these insights to find effective and scalable solutions to address these barriers.
Prior to his move to Grameen Foundation India, Prabhat designed and led the portfolio of programs at the MasterCard Foundation, Canada to enhance access to savings services for low income populations. Combining insights from diverse fields of sociology, behavioural economics and technology into one coherent strategy to address intractable challenges in the financial inclusion space, this portfolio successfully expanded access to savings services for millions of people across seventeen countries in Africa.
Earlier, as Senior Technical Advisor for CARE USA’s pan- Africa microfinance initiative ‘Access Africa’, Prabhat provided technical assistance to over a dozen country programs across Asia and Africa. Prior to CARE, Prabhat served on the faculty of Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, where he focused on development of youth-led micro enterprises and rural industries.
