Abstract

This first-of-a-kind regional financial inclusion platform in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region leveraged collective expertise and learnings of financial policymakers, regulators and knowledge partners. The Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) has enabled policy and regulatory innovation and incorporates gender inclusive financing as a priority in the design and implementation of financial inclusion policies. This report summarizes activities, contributions and achievements of the project. The Financial Inclusion Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean (FILAC) developed and implemented 41 policy and regulatory changes in nine countries, attributing 50% of all financial inclusion policy changes to their engagement in AFI.
