Abstract
Following the Alliance for Financial Inclusion framework, the project assessed women and youth financial inclusion through four lenses: access, usage, quality and welfare. Conducted by the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) the study identifies and evaluates the effectiveness of existing financial inclusion initiatives in achieving desired goals. It compares approaches, gauges impact, tracks progress and draws lessons for policy makers, regulators and service providers. The report reviews regulatory, policy and institutional frameworks that influence inclusion or exclusion of women and youth and assesses the nature and scope of public policy initiatives in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Zambia.
