What's Happening?
The Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) Working Groups are focusing on thematic financial inclusion policy areas, including Consumer Empowerment and Market Conduct, Financial Inclusion Strategy, Financial Inclusion Data,
Global Standards Proportionality, Digital Financial Services, and SME Finance. These groups represent leadership and innovation in crafting smart policies and practical solutions to meet the needs of AFI members. Knowledge is shared within the network, integrating experiences, technical expertise, and analytical research, which is translated into policy guideline notes, case studies, and discussion papers. The working groups facilitate peer learning and support the development of national financial inclusion strategies.
Why It's Important?
AFI's Working Groups play a crucial role in advancing financial inclusion by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among policymakers. By focusing on specific thematic areas, these groups help develop targeted solutions that address the unique challenges faced by different regions and sectors. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of financial inclusion policies but also promotes innovation and adaptability in the financial sector. The work of these groups is essential for creating a more inclusive financial system that can drive economic growth and improve access to financial services for underserved populations.
