Defy publishes From Access to Impact

A milestone for Defy Consortium

The launch marks a milestone for Defy Consortium. Our industry alliance unites corporates, venture builders, startups, development agencies and NGOs. They share one mission, to co-design the inclusive finance ecosystem of tomorrow.

What the paper argues

The paper draws a clear distinction between financial inclusion and inclusive finance. It shows how inclusive finance drives transformative change towards a more resilient and equitable future.

It highlights critical gaps in the current financial inclusion ecosystem. It calls for robust digital public-private infrastructure, so that solutions for underserved users can be scalable, secure and adapted to their context.
