DATA ON WOMEN FINANCIAL INCLUSION Correct data provides information on the current status of financial inclusion of women and evidence based financial inclusion policy making, while tracking the effectiveness of efforts to address barriers faced by women.
DATA ON WOMEN FINANCIAL INCLUSION If financial institutions reported about sex disaggregated data: • National level datasets could measure how close we are to achieving full financial inclusion • The numbers would show why serving women is a clear business case
While women financial inclusion is on the rise, it is not moving fast enough to close the gap, with access and usage still being addressed, along with other issues.
SEX-DISAGGREGATED DATA IN FINANCIAL INCLUSION • Data collected separately for males and females • It is either supply-side collected from Financial service providers (FSPs) or demand-side data collected through national surveys
Standardized templates and data collection mechanisms enable members to share practical experiences and lessons learned from other AFI member institutions.
