Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) is hosting the AFI Virtual Member Training on Regional Regulatory Sandbox for Fintech Innovations: Experiences and Perspectives, from 13 to 15 September 2021, 2:00 UTC – 05:30 hours UTC.

The three-day training is based on the two AFI knowledge products, namely, Innovative Regulatory Approaches Toolkit and the Pacific Regional Regulatory Sandbox Guidelines; and aims to enable readiness of AFI’s Pacific Islands Regional Initiative (PIRI) members for the implementation of the regional regulatory sandbox. The underlying agenda of the regulatory sandbox is to support design and delivery of innovative digital financial services to achieve financial inclusion.

The training will follow AFI’s model of peer learning and will be led by technical experts from the AFI network, partners and AFI Management Unit. The terminal objective of this Virtual Member Training is that, at the end of the training participants will have the knowledge to design a national and/or regional regulatory sandbox. The training is intended for senior and technical officials from AFI’s PIRI member institutions and other AFI member institutions, from small island developing states (SIDS) or otherwise, currently working on policies/frameworks/guidelines focused on implementation of a regulatory sandbox or a regulatory approach for FinTechs.
