This research agenda highlights the most salient issues in the SG community, and it guides attention and resources to addressing them so that innovation may be informed by evidence.
The themes presented in this paper are front and center for SG stakeholders. They were discussed and debated by over 400 practitioners, financial service providers (FSPs), donors, and other stakeholders at the SG2015 conference, "The Power of Savings Groups," in Lusaka, Zambia, in November 2015.
