Accountability Report: G7 Partnership for Women’s Digital Financial Inclusion in Africa

In 2019, with an estimated 250 million women in Sub-Saharan Africa facing financial exclusion, under the French Presidency, the G7 Partnership for Women’s Digital Financial Inclusion in Africa (G7P) was created to promote social equality and reduce the digital gender divide by realizing the value of digital financial services and supporting African governments, regulators, banks, and financial institutions to build more gender-inclusive, sustainable, and responsible digital financial systems. The G7P brings together a myriad of existing institutions working in Africa on complementary issues of research, investment, and regulation around digital finance and its potential benefits for women. This report addresses the request from the French G7 Presidency to support greater transparency and accountability across G7 initiatives. This year’s report focuses on the theme of “trust” and offers reflections on the progress of the collaborative in its second full year of implementation and provides recommendations for improving its collective impact.
