AFI is the world’s leading organization on financial inclusion policy & regulation. A member - owned network, we promote and develop evidence - based policy solutions that improve lives of the poor through the power of financial inclusion

AFI is a policy leadership alliance owned and led by member central banks and financial regulatory institutions with the common objective of advancing financial inclusion at the country, regional and international levels.

AFI’s unique peer-to-peer learning model encourages and enables financial policymakers to interact and exchange knowledge. This information interchange results in the building of a more comprehensive knowledge base on financial inclusion and the subsequent formulation and implementation of effective policy by members in their home countries.
