2.5bn people have no access to a bank account. This global challenge requires global solutions and many organisations will need to work together. To address this, CARE International UK, Barclays and Plan UK are launching the Linking for Change Savings Charter which sets out international principles that will enable banks to responsibly provide products and services to savers in the developing world.  The charter has been drafted after a period of extensive consultation with key partners and already has warm support from senior players, having been discussed at Davos this year. The Charter aims to:

1. Build a powerful global Alliance of 100 leading organisations, by 2015, who share the vision of this charter, agree and support or implement its principles
2. Receive commitment from corporate leaders to develop and roll out new savings products from poor communities in the developing world
3. Call for universal financial inclusion to be included in the post-2015 UN development framework

We are looking for a consultant to deliver the strategy to achieve the Charter, which will include implementation of the Linking for Change Savings Charter strategy to deliver 100 signatures for support for linking poor savers to formal institutions by 2015.
