TICAD VI Forum for African Financial Inclusion
~Sharing COMESA Policy Recommendations for the Enhancement of Regulatory and Supervisory Framework~

African countries including COMESA members have recorded impressive GDP growth in the last decade averaging 4.8%. However, poverty ratio continued to rise over the same period. This discrepancy of economic growth and poverty reduction necessitates the increasing need for more inclusive growth.
On this behalf, COMESA, Alliance Forum Foundation, and African Development Bank organized two regional workshops to promote financial inclusion through enhanced regulatory and supervisory framework. In these meetings, Microfinance regulators and practitioners identified challenges in the sector and the solutions, which was transformed into the policy recommendation.
TICAD VI Forum for African Financial Inclusion will be a blessed opportunity to share the policy recommendations published as “Guide on Regulation & Supervision Framework for Financial Inclusion”, and resolve common direction forward.
