As defined by SEEP, inclusion “refers to expanding both the participation and benefits of financial services and enterprise and market development far beyond their current reach.” The conference focuses on the following five tracks: strengthening the economic potential of the “ultra” poor, approaches to savings delivery, innovations in information and communications technology, proof of practice – understanding change and impact, and enterprise and market development.

The nonprofit connects microenterprise practitioners from around the world to develop practical guidance and tools, build capacity and help set standards to advance SEEP’s mission of sustainable income in every household.
