4 pages
This Brief is based on data from the 2016 CGAP Cross-Border Funder Survey conducted in partnership with MIX. CGAP collected data from 54 international funders, whose commitments made up 74% of global estimated funding for financial inclusion. Key findings from the survey are:
- Funding for financial inclusion increased by USD 3 billion;
- Funders are reviewing strategies and integrating financial inclusion;
- Funders slowly look beyond traditional supply-side support;
- Funding—mostly still through loans—targets increasingly diverse recipient types;
- Funding to sub-Saharan Africa surpasses South Asia for first time.
