| Summary: | The 2017 edition of CGAP’s annual
Cross-Border Funder Survey reports funding commitments from
the 23 largest international funders of financial inclusion,
representing 80 percent of the full set of over 54
international funders and 73 percent of the global estimated
funding commitments for financial inclusion in 2016.1
Financial inclusion, which is broadly perceived as an
enabler of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), remains an
important focus for funders. Survey results indicate that
funding commitments continue to grow steadily, especially in
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). International funders are
increasingly targeting capacity building for financial
services providers (FSPs) and financial inclusion policy and
regulation, and at this point, every funder supports the
development of digital financial services (DFS). |
