The Accelerator Program is an important milestone in the AFI Engage Fellows’ journey as future leaders in financial inclusion. This intensive three-day program leverages AFI’s unique position to connect emerging leaders with financial sector regulators while building essential capabilities to navigate the increasingly complex policy landscape.

The program follows a structured progression across three core areas: leadership foundations and professional growth, strategic communication and influence, and adaptive leadership for impact. By engaging in real-world scenarios, interactive panel discussions, and immersive leadership exercises, Fellows emerge from the program with practical strategies to lead policy implementation and create lasting impact in financial inclusion.
