Central Bank of Lesotho

Central Bank of Lesotho, a principal member, joined AFI in September 2012. It plays an active role in three working groups that look at consumer empowerment and market conduct, financial inclusion strategies and digital financial services. It has outlined four Maya Declaration targets, including on the integration of women’s financial inclusion initiatives in its financial sector development strategy review by December 2019.

The central bank received an AFI policy grant to assist in the effective coordination, monitoring and evaluation of national financial inclusion strategies.
