A&Z-ProsperTech

A&Z-ProsperTech operates under the auspices of A&Z Top Services Enterprises. It provides strategic direction, resources, and support to A&Z-ProsperTech. While A&Z-ProsperTech focuses on delivering specific project targets and services and it aligns its efforts with the broader goals and objectives set by A&Z Top Services Enterprises, ensuring synergy and cohesion across the organization. 

The specific problem A&Z is addressing within the "2024 Global Economic Prosperity Challenge" is the lack of access to inclusive financial systems that create quality job opportunities, promote and develop a technology that hubs an online B2B Marketplace for business transactions around the World, which is a challenge in Liberia and particularly in vulnerable and marginalized communities.

Globally, billions of people lack access to basic financial services, such as credit, insurance, and digital identity tools. According to the World Bank, around 1.7 billion adults remain unbanked, with limited or no access to formal financial services. This lack of financial inclusion hinders economic participation and exacerbates poverty and inequality.

Moreover, the informal economy employs a significant portion of the global workforce, with approximately two billion workers worldwide engaged in precarious and low-paying jobs. These workers often lack job security, social protections, and opportunities for skill development and career advancement.

Factors contributing to this problem include limited access to traditional banking services, insufficient infrastructure for digital payments, and a lack of tailored financial products for marginalized populations. Additionally, barriers such as gender discrimination, geographic isolation, and inadequate education further marginalize vulnerable communities from economic opportunities.

My solution through “A&Z-ProsperTech” aims to address these challenges by leveraging technology to promote and develop a digital platform, (Online B2B Marketplace and Digital Financial Services), a financial inclusion that creates sustainable job opportunities by providing access to digital financial services, facilitating skills training and loans and credits, and fostering. “A&Z-ProsperTech” seeks to empower individuals and communities to participate more fully in both the formal and informal economy, ultimately contributing to greater economic prosperity and resilience.
