WE FOCUS ON EXPLORING HOW FINANCIAL SERVICES CAN BETTER MEET THE NEEDS AND
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF POOR HOUSEHOLDS.


  SIGN UP FOR THE FAIV, OUR QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER

In Part 1 of this series we laid out the ‘three-legged stool’ of underlying
institutional resilience, proactive response, and the external factors over
which Sentinels have no control. In Part 2, we investigate the ‘luck’ factor.



WATCH: What lessons have we learned from the last decade that can close the
financial inclusion gap that exists world over? This edition of the faiVLive was
based on a new report from the Aspen Institute’s Financial Security Program,
Building An Inclusive Financial System.



What are the priorities of DFS providers, and what incentives do they have to be
more pro-poor?



We set out to track how diverse the authors we featured in the faiV were - how
many women? How many scholars and institutions from the Global South? Here’s
what we found.



April was Financial Literacy Month, and we hope it was the last one. Here’s why
we think Inclusive Financial Systems Month would be a much better idea.

faiVLive: Building an Inclusive Financial System


In 2009, FAI founder Jonathan Morduch was part of a group that determined “half
the world is unbanked.” Ten years later, the latest Global Findex tells us that
the world’s unbanked population has been nearly cut in half. A combination of
focused public and private efforts, aided by technology advances, yielded
massive, though uneven, progress. It’s worth celebrating the gains, but also
reflecting on what is still left to do. What lessons have we learned from the
last 20 years that can close the rest of the inclusion gap? Why has inclusion in
wealthier countries stalled? What does the inclusion agenda leave undone? How
can technology be part of building more bridges to excluded communities?

This edition of the faiVLive was based on a new report from the Aspen
Institute’s Financial Security Program, Building An Inclusive Financial System,
that tackles those questions and more.

faiVLive: When is FinTech Pro-Poor?


In this edition of the faiVLive, with a group of expert panelists from around
the world, we delve into the possibilities for FinTech to serve the poor and
reduce inequality. Six years after McKinsey heralded “a new era of digital
globalization,” what have we learned about when, and where, FinTech meaningfully
advances inclusion, and when it creates a new (digital) divide? When does
FinTech (in the words of Greg Chen of CGAP, during this edition of the faiVLive)
build a bridge and when does it dig a moat?
