Over the past decade, we've made significant progress in expanding access to #FinancialServices for underserved populations. However, access alone is not enough; we need to prioritize the outcomes that financial inclusion contributes to. Today, as part of its Financial Inclusion 2.0 initiative, CGAP convened key stakeholders from across the public and private sectors to explore how #FinancialInclusion interventions and investments can deliver greater impact in line with global development goals. Conversations focused on:  ✅ Financial Inclusion Impact Pathways An upcoming CGAP interactive platform will enhance the sector’s understanding of the evidence connecting financial inclusion to key development outcomes. Stay tuned for the launch! ✅ The Future of Outcome Measurement What challenges does the financial inclusion industry face in measuring outcomes? What innovative approaches can help tackle these issues, and what does the future hold for outcome measurement? ✅ Financial Health and Wellbeing What are these two concepts, why have they received so much attention in recent years, and how do they relate to long-term development outcomes? ✅ The Role of AI As AI becomes increasingly prevalent, how can we leverage it to track and measure outcomes? What opportunities and risks does it present? ✅ Looking Ahead What’s next for financial inclusion?
