OJK Jambi Equips Women with Financial Literacy Education

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) of Jambi Province is providing education to women through various financial literacy activities and the development of literacy ambassadors to enhance public understanding of financial management. “We have carried out 67 financial education activities with total participants reaching 7,359 people from January to 18 June 2026,” said Head of OJK Jambi Province Yan Iswara Rosya in Jambi on Saturday. Four of those activities were thematic education specifically targeting women, with 700 participants, alongside 63 mixed education sessions for both women and men. He is also strengthening the involvement of women as agents for disseminating financial information. OJK Jambi currently has 24 Financial Literacy Ambassadors from academic circles, 17 of whom are women who have received training through the Training of Trainers programme as OJK Financial Literacy Ambassadors. Eight of the 21 Financial Literacy Ambassadors from the Scout segmentation are women. The authority has also provided financial literacy access referrals to 304 women through the digital learning platform Learning Management System Edukasi Keuangan (LMSku) to broaden the reach of education. “We have also provided financial literacy access referrals to 304 women via LMSku.ojk.go.id,” he said. LMSku is an independent and integrated learning and training system related to financial literacy that can be accessed anywhere and anytime free of charge. Yan stated that no specific research has yet been conducted on the impact of financial education on the improvement of women’s businesses or economic conditions after participating in the programme. “We have not conducted research at this time on the improvement of women’s businesses or economy after financial education is carried out,” he said. OJK Jambi is committed to continuously expanding financial literacy and inclusion programmes to encourage increased capacity for women in managing finances and to support family and community welfare.
