About CGAP

The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) is a global partnership of more than 30 leading development organizations that work to advance poor people’s lives, especially women, through financial inclusion. Using action-oriented research, we test, learn and share knowledge intended to help build inclusive and responsible financial systems that build resilience and the ability to capture opportunities, protect their economic gains and advance broader development goals. We research and experiment to achieve proof of concept and extract lessons that can be built to scale by our partners, who apply our insights in the marketplace.
