AFRICAN FINANCIAL
INCLUSION POLICY
INITIATIVE (AFPI)


AFRICAN FINANCIAL
INCLUSION POLICY
INITIATIVE (AFPI)

AfPI is the primary platform for AFI’s African members to support and develop
financial inclusion policies, regulatory frameworks and other knowledge products
in Africa, and to coordinate regional capacity building and peer learning
efforts. Unveiled in May 2017, in Maputo, Mozambique, AfPI succeeds the African
Mobile Phone Financial Services Policy Initiative (AMPI), which was launched in
February 2013.

From AFI’s regional office in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, AfPI brings together
high-level representatives from financial policymaking and regulatory
institutions in Africa. Stakeholders from private sector entities,
telecommunications regulators and international development agencies also
participate in and support AfPI activities. By establishing a platform for
public and private engagement, AfPI aims to enhance the implementation of
innovative financial inclusion policies in Africa.

Key AfPI initiatives include leaders’ roundtables, private-public dialogues,
capacity building workshops, developed-developing country dialogues and experts
group on financial inclusion policy meetings (EGFIP).

Focus Areas
 * Reinforce the capacity building efforts of financial regulators to ensure
   that they keep up with the rapidly changing financial inclusion landscape and
   mitigate underlying risks.
 * Deepen the understanding of policy and regulatory approaches that enhance
   innovative financial services in Africa.
 * Reinforce the dialogue with private sector players and other related
   stakeholders through AFI’s public-private dialogue in Africa and other forms
   of cooperation.
 * Strengthen cooperation between financial and telecommunication regulators on
   issues related to digital financial services (DFS).
 * Deepen the understanding and learning of approaches for interoperable schemes
   or models to inform effective policy interventions for interoperability that
   support financial inclusion.
 * Promote DFS for agricultural micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and
   deepen the understanding of policy reforms to support agricultural finance.
 * Promote inclusive policies for women, especially by leveraging new
   technologies and promoting the adoption of regulations and financial consumer
   protection frameworks to advance women’s economic participation.
 * Strengthen synergies between microfinance institutions and DFS providers.
 * Facilitate the adoption of policy and regulatory approaches to enhance
   consumer protection for digital credit in Africa.

 

Objectives
 * Coordinate the formulation of financial inclusion policies that address
   regional challenges.
 * Harmonize policies and regulatory approaches to deepen financial inclusion in
   Africa.

   that addresses financial inclusion challenges in Africa.

Governance

AfPI is part of the AFI network and any AFI member institution in Africa can
participate in AfPI activities. AfPI operates under a governance structure
consisting of the leaders’ roundtable, the chair and EGFIP. The chair serves for
a two-year term and is replaced by the vice-chair at the end of the term. A new
vice-chair is then elected.



 

Operational Structure

AfPI activities are implemented and coordinated through the following mechanism:

 * AFPI LEADERS’ ROUNDTABLE
   AfPI leaders, high-level policymakers and regulators meet at an annual
   roundtable to discuss policy issues and provide strategic guidance. They also
   convene on the sidelines of the AFI Global Policy Forum to discuss other
   urgent matters.
 * AfPI CHAIR
   The chair provides leadership and guidance to EGFIP to ensure a smooth and
   successful implementation of the activities, and represents AfPI in its
   relations with governments and other entities.
 * EGFIP
   A group of senior officials from AFI member that undertakes the technical
   implementation of AfPI activities. They provide insight on policy and
   regulatory approaches to help address pertinent regional and sub-regional
   challenges on enhancing financial inclusion in Africa. Institutions that are
   members of EGFIP rotate within each sub-region every three years. AFI
   Management Unit coordinates the organization of meetings with leaders and
   EGFIP.
