The AFI Member network’s knowledge and experience in developing, implementing, and revising National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) have had a significant impact on advancing financial inclusion.

In general, NFIS have created enabling environments and the awareness for the deployment of strategic measures driving financial inclusion initiatives with the aim of achieving the specific financial inclusion goals as set out in the NFIS vision statement.

The objectives of this NFIS Policy Model are twofold:

• To provide guidance on the development and implementation of a NFIS based on efficient and effective approaches across the AFI Member network contributing to the achievement of the financial inclusion goals.
• Advocates for the continued involvement of the private sector so as to not only ensure the integration of financial inclusion approaches in private sector business models but also, through private sector feedback.
