In July 2015, the Center for Financial Inclusion and Accion teamed up to launch a fellows program designed to generate research on some of the most pressing questions facing the financial inclusion industry.

The purpose of this program is to encourage independent researchers and analysts to systematically examine some of the most important challenges in financial inclusion. Each fellow conducts research, analysis, or writing on a topic of high importance to financial inclusion and produces a paper to be published by CFI.

The most recent cohort of fellows was located in three different countries and between them, their research focused on nine markets. We look forward to continuing the work that has emerged from this program, and facilitates the generation of insights that will advance financial inclusion around the world.
