This report presents the second phase of AFI’s Gender Inclusive Finance Mapping exercise, which aims to deepen members’ understanding of the factors enabling or constraining women’s financial inclusion and support regulators and policymakers in identifying practical actions to advance gender inclusive finance.

Building on Phase 1, which mapped women’s financial inclusion across the AFI network and identified key policy and regulatory enablers, Phase 2 assesses progress since 2021, explores the drivers of change, and highlights regulatory interventions linked to improved outcomes.
