THE FINANCIAL INCLUSION COMPASS
The Financial Inclusion Compass was launched by e-MFP for the first time in 2018 as a way to leverage e-MFP’s multi-stakeholder membership and position in the inclusive finance community.This publication is based on a sector-wide mixed-methodology survey of various stakeholders, giving the chance for practitioners, investors, donors, academics and support service providers, among others to present their thoughts on the trends, future areas of focus, challenges and opportunities for inclusive finance in the short, medium and long term.
Please take part in e-MFP’s Financial Inclusion Compass 2026 survey of sector trends and priorities. Since its launch in 2018, the Compass has become a widely used way of taking the pulse of the sector, bringing together the perspectives of different stakeholders on what matters most in financial inclusion. The survey is available in English, French and Spanish, and will close at midday on 18th May.
