About the Impact Pathfinder
Welcome to the Impact Pathfinder, an evidence platform designed to shed light on the impact of financial inclusion on development.
By leveraging existing research, this platform outlines pathways that show how financial services and products can contribute to key development outcomes, such as building resilience, promoting women's economic empowerment, creating job opportunities, and improving access to education and healthcare.
What is the Impact Pathfinder?
Watch this short video for a quick overview of how the Impact Pathfinder makes financial inclusion evidence easy to access and understand.
Developed as part of CGAP's Financial Inclusion 2.0 initiative, the Impact Pathfinder aims to make valuable evidence on financial inclusion more accessible and actionable. It provides an easy way to access and interpret insights from the literature, supporting decision-makers including donors, investors, financial service providers, regulators, and research organizations.
We invite you to explore the dynamic world of financial inclusion with us. Whether you are making investment or funding decisions, designing financial services, or conducting research, the Impact Pathfinder synthesizes existing research, saving you the effort of sifting through numerous studies so you can work more efficiently.
The platform is just the beginning of our journey to better understand the impact of financial inclusion. The Impact Pathfinder will be continuously updated with new research and insights while also highlighting areas where further research is needed.
Through the Financial Inclusion 2.0 initiative CGAP is focused on studying impact and developing new ways to measure it. This effort aims to provide a clearer understanding of how financial inclusion can drive positive development outcomes.
