The Women’s Financial Inclusion Community of Practice (COP) provides CGAP facilitated platforms to share experiences, identify key challenges, document and discuss emerging good practices, and solve common problems associated with increasing equitable access to and use of a broad range of financial services.
The COP’s steering committee consists of a core group of “champions” who guide our goals and strategy, outlined in our charter. Champions also help to implement an overarching work plan of the COP. Working Groups convene by theme and determine how to address knowledge gaps, as well as enhance collaboration among members in assigned themes. The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) facilitates the community of practice.
The COP members include researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and donors around the world working on financial inclusion in promoting economic empowerment for women.
This gathering is designed to:
Update members on the status and activities of the COP.
Promote learning around new and innovative practices and solutions to increase women’s financial inclusion.
Review and update Working Group strategic priorities, plans, and activities.
