The Financial Sector Deepening Trust, Tanzania (FSDT) was established by five government donors: the UK Department for International Development (DFID); the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA); the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA); the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA); and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The overall aim of the Trust is to provide greater access for more people to engage with the financial system throughout Tanzania. FSDT supports three pillars of financial sector development:

• Expanding the scale and viability of financial institutions and related transactions
• Financial sector infrastructure, especially the crucial task of capacity-building
• The policy, legal and regulatory framework
