Generating a Gender-Inclusive Finance Roadmap for Latin America and the Caribbean

ConsumerCentriX (CCX), in partnership with the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI), is working to develop a gender-inclusive finance (GIF) roadmap for AFI member countries in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. The project seeks to address the lack of systematic review of practical policy actions that AFI members in the LAC region can undertake to increase women’s financial inclusion and reduce their gender gaps.

With extensive experience from working with AFI on two projects, part of the AFI Gender Inclusive Finance Workstream, the CCX team, led by Partner Anna Gincherman, will undertake three primary tasks, including:

• Assessing the state of financial inclusion in the LAC region, highlight the significant milestones, targets, and drivers for women’s financial inclusion
• Identifying key barriers and opportunities to women’s financial inclusion in the LAC region
• Identifying main areas of focus for regulators and implementation initiatives in the LAC region based on the best practices and the region’s own unique needs

Through extensive secondary and primary research, the CCX team will develop a GIF landscape report for the LAC region covering the main barriers and opportunities for women’s financial inclusion, with recommendations and an implementation plan based on the key findings from the research.
