Elizabeth Elango Bintliff is the CEO of Junior Achievement (JA) Africa. She is a development professional with 17 years of experience working in developing countries and emerging economies.

As formerly the vice-president of Africa Programs at Heifer International, she managed a multi-million dollar portfolio in 12 sub-Saharan African countries, including the Gates Foundation-funded East Africa Dairy Development Project. She holds a Master’s Certificate in Non-Profit Management from the University of Arkansas and a graduate of Leadership Arkansas; a program of the Arkansas Chamber of Commerce.

Recently Junior Achievement (JA) Africa and Ecobank Group announced their new partnership- “Banking on Africa’s Youth.” The partnership will undertake a campaign which will tap into JA’s vast online community, comprising over one million young social media followers spread across Africa. 

It will educate and mobilize over 600,000+ young people with financial literacy knowledge, as part of Ecobank’s Junior Savers initiative which in part seeks to grow financial inclusion for young Africans using Ecobank’s mobile/digital resources.

The purpose of the online campaign is to empower potential and existing Junior Savers account holders with the requisite financial literacy knowledge to understand and begin to build a culture of savings as part of their financial habits. The campaign targets youth groups, online influencers and communities with an understanding of some basic financial concepts.

Junior Achievement Africa prepares youth for the future of jobs by bridging the knowledge gap between school and the world of work. Through the delivery of financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship training and in collaboration with schools, technical/ vocational centres and other partners, JA Africa works in 15 countries reaching 250,000 youth each year.
