Background on Organizers: The forum will be hosted by the Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI), which was founded in 2008 in Washington, DC, by US-based NGO Accion. The organization seeks to bring about the conditions to achieve full financial inclusion worldwide by promoting collaboration among a variety of industries. It operates under a core belief that financial inclusion requires that everyone has access to a range of quality financial services at affordable prices, delivered by a range of providers in a competitive market. Financial Inclusion 2020 (FI2020) is a movement that rallies stakeholders to achieve full financial inclusion and proposes 2020 as the apex for action.
