Creating effective partnerships with training service providers, technology partners and market facilitators, such as Gateway Academy, can achieve more than individual organizations working alone. In this webinar, panelists from Fidelity Bank (Ghana), CGAP, and Gateway Academy discussed topics such as driving forces fueling the demand for digital learning in financial institutions and lessons learned from partnership efforts between Gateway Academy and Fidelity Bank.
