9 Barriers Structure of Employment in Kenya EMPLOYMENT IN KENYA, 000s SHARE OF EMPLOYMENT, % Formal Sector Informal Sector Formal Sector Informal Sector 9
10 Barriers Characteristics of Informal Sector Informal Sector workers; Generally earn low and irregular incomes Change jobs & economic actiities frequently thereby experiencing high labor mobility No monthly payroll to facilitate predetermined monthly contributions towards their retirement benefits. Exclusion from the formal financial system and lack of physical access to financial serices 10
11 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - I Gien the low pension coerage [20%] of the total work force coered in registered existing retirement plans, new initiaties to extend pension coerage became profound. (RBA), working together with other stakeholders in the industry, has had to come up with initiaties to expand pension coerage, especially to the informal sector. The existing pension gap in the country require considerable measures to encourage supplementary personal pension saings Some of the measures include encouraging IPPs [36] where indiiduals can sae oluntarily especially using mobile platforms 11
12 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - II MOBILE MONEY IS KEY TO FINACCESS USE OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF FINANCIAL SERVICES IN KENYA, % Bank Insurance Mobile Money Microfinance Credit Union Informal Men 12 Women
13 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - III Birth of Mbao Pension Plan; The Blue MSME Jua Kali Indiidual Retirement Benefits Scheme popularly known as the Mbao Pension Plan which targets the larger working population (85%) in the informal (Jua Kali) sector was conceptualized and officially launched in June 2011 and gained immense popularly among the population working in the informal sector and the self employed. Target workers in the informal sector who run micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) It is a oluntary defined contribution proident fund. It began as a successful Corporate Social Inestment (CSI) initiatie. 13
14 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - IV MBAO SME Indiidual Pension Scheme is one of 36 Independent Indiidual Pension Plans (IPPs) regulated by the RBA. Mbao is a colloquial term for twenty (20) shillings which is the minimum amount members are encouraged to contribute on a daily basis Mbao Pension Scheme, was the world s first wholly mobile phone based pension scheme and specifically targets workers in the informal sector Mbao uses the mobile money transfer serices offered by the two leading mobile phone networks in Kenya, namely, Safaricom and Airtel which allows real time transfers 24 hours a day from anywhere within 14 the network coerage
15 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - V Like other IPPS Mbao has independent serice proiders including Corporate Trustee, Administrator, Custodian and Fund Manager Mbao model by allowing oluntary contributions by informal sector workers through the mobile phone oercomes the challenges informal sector workers face: irregular income, exclusion from the formal financial system and lack of physical access to financial serices Mbao scheme is the largest IPP in terms of members with oer 100,000 members but is relatiely small in terms of assets due to low leel of contributions. 15
16 Promoting Voluntary Saings through ICT - VI The contributions are reflected instantly on the members phones as receipted by the Fund and are able to check contribution balances. Mbao Pension Plan has helped address 3 things; Problem of low incomes - Kshs.20 per day is affordable to most people working in the informal sector. Seasonality/irregularity of incomes - in the sector for they can make bulk contributions to coer periods of no income high labor mobility - in the sector because by using mobile phones to make contributions, they can do it from anywhere any time, day or night. Mbao membership stands at oer 100,000 members with a fund alue of Kshs. 140 million by June It is currently the largest IPP by membership 16
17 In Summary Enable Informal Sector workers sae for retirement by deelopment and promoting innoatie pension products Mobile Phone Based (Mpesa) Founded by Informal Sector Workers Groups MBAO INDIVIDUAL RETIRMENT BENEFITS SCHEME Regulated by RBA Independent Serice proiders Assets US$ 1.5m Members 100,000 17
18 Challenges Facing Mbao Competing priorities of members such as medical and emergencies One size fits all approach yet informal sector ery dierse High leel of withdrawals from scheme Inconsistency and lack of sustainability of contributionscontributions taper off after time Competing saings ehicles perceied to offer alue addition Credit IT platform not robust designed for formal sector scheme Questionable economic iability perception as a Corporate Social Responsibility Need for sustained marketing 18 campaigns which is ery costly
19 Proposed Solutions Implement sub micro-pension schemes targeted at sub sectors of the informal sector Bundle pension with other financial serices such as insurance and credit Implement a Specialized Micro-Pension Administration System Strengthen Goernance and capacity building to the Sponsor, Trustee Integration of financial literacy in school curriculum and publicity campaign to promote old age saings by low income informal sector workers Matching contribution by the Goernment? Auto-enrolment? 19
20 Conclusion Informality of employment is an established feature of working patterns on the African continent and in many other deeloping countries Informality makes the roll - out of centralized programs challenging, particularly those that require an actie decision of citizens to participate, een more when such participation inoles a financial contribution with pay - off only in the distant future. Substantial effort is therefore required to understand the needs and aspirations of informal sector workers before deploying a system for oluntary pension saings based on our experience. 20
