AFI’s Gender Inclusive Finance Policy Model can be a springboard for women’s financial inclusion

Today, at the 2024 AFI Global Policy Forum in San Salvador, the AFI network published an innovative Gender Inclusive Finance Policy Model. Countries now have a powerful tool to develop and implement effective policies to promote women’s financial inclusion.

“Until recently, there was no hard evidence about the impact of gender inclusive policies, or guidelines for policymakers on how to develop them,” said AFI Head of Policy Management, Audrey Hove.

“To remedy this, AFI knowledge products, including findings from the AFI mapping exercise helped identify effective gender-inclusive policies and regulations from across our network. We then leveraged that insight to produce a Policy Model, based on empirical evidence from around the world, which will allow policymakers to craft and implement effective policies.”
