Dear Naveen Chand Kanyamarala,
Welcome to the latest edition of the Gateway Exchange. We invite you to enter the CGAP Photo Contest and send in your photos that capture the importance of financial inclusion efforts around the world. The 2017 CGAP Photo Contest seeks photos that reflect the following themes:
  • Innovations in Digital Finance;
  • Creating Opportunities for People in Crisis;
  • Building Sustainable Livelihoods;
  • Connecting People and Services.
As always, if you don't have a Gateway account yet, create one today and share your resources with the financial inclusion community!

Sincerely,

  • What is behavioral research and why does it matter for consumer protection policy?
  • How can policymakers use behavioral research to improve consumer protection policies?

GATEWAY QUIZ


A vast majority of youth and children live in developing countries, and nearly half of them live on less than USD 2 a day. Take this quiz to find out how much you know about young people and their financial lives.
EDITOR'S PICK

This toolkit is the fourth in a series of six toolkits aimed at supporting financial institutions (FIs) to go digital. With this series of digital finance toolkits, an FI will be able to choose the best business model based on an assessment of its environment, objectives, capacity and readiness to carry out the efforts required.

In this model, a financial institution identifies, recruits, trains, brands and manages its own network of third-party agents through which to distribute its financial products and services.
