‘Bringing smart policies to life’
The Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) is a global policy leadership alliance that works to advance financial inclusion. A member-owned network of central banks and financial regulatory institutions in 84 countries, AFI connects and enables policymakers to develop effective initiatives to advance financial inclusion.
Over the last 15 years, AFI members have introduced 1,130 financial inclusion policies, and financially included 850 million people.
AFI’s philosophy is based on two key principles: that policies and regulations should be tailored to the country context, and that inclusivity should be at the center of the design of policy solutions. AFI’s cooperative model accelerates progress via knowledge exchange and peer-to peer engagement. Through AFI Working Groups, Regional Initiatives, Knowledge Products and Capacity Building events, members connect, exchange and share insight in order to develop and implement effective policies.
AFI produces regular reports, commentary and analysis on the state of financial inclusion, and members share up-to-date information through AFI’s Data Portal. AFI’s flagship event, the Global Policy Forum, is the world’s largest financial inclusion gathering of policymakers, bringing together 700 attendees each year.
AFI collaborates with like-minded donors and partners to support financial inclusion and to strengthen member institutions’ capacity.
