e-MFP’S ACTION GROUPS
The e-MFP Action Groups (AGs) are an opportunity for members to join forces on specific projects or activities on common areas of interest. The Action Groups provide a unique cross-sector forum, enabling constructive dialogue and cooperation within the platform, and contributing to the advancement of the whole financial inclusion sector. In 2020, e-MFP’s Action Groups continued to be an important driver of e-MFP’s activities, despite the many challenges faced due to the Covid-19 crisis. Recognising the relevance of their work, the e-MFP Secretariat sought to strengthen the support provided to the Groups in their different stages. This included nurturing the creation of the AG ‘From Research to Practice’ as well as supporting the existing Groups in planning and implementing some of their activities, and in disseminating their results through different types of outputs (publications, webinars and other online events, etc.).
The e-MFP Secretariat would like to thank all members involved in the Action Groups for their ideas, their valuable time, and their enthusiasm and dedication, without which the activities described below would not have been possible. In the complex and volatile scenario of 2020, a very special thank you goes to the heads of the Action Groups for adapting to the new situation and guaranteeing the engagement of the AGs’ members throughout the year. For the e-MFP Secretariat, it is rewarding to see that the experience of e-MFP’s Action Groups in 2020 is a good example of an increasing cooperation between diverse financial inclusion actors, that has been enhanced by the response to the pandemic.
If your organization would like to join any of the Action Groups, do not hesitate to contact e-MFP Secretariat (jafonso@e-mfp.eu).
