SAMN partners with Financial Inclusion Forum – UK (FIF-UK) to bring the financial inclusion practitioners, regulators and investors from across the world together in a two-day conference in London, UK. This conference will allow structured interaction between the key stakeholders operating at the country, regional and global levels. It is envisaged that the conference will provide an opportunity to stakeholders to discuss challenges across the South Asian region, experiences on initiatives taken to address the challenges, build on lessons learnt by the different countries, and provide a common platform for donors, investors, research and development specialists for the region. This would also allow for exchange of ideas and optimal utilization of resources by channeling them to jointly develop products and technological solutions enabling practitioners to reduce cost and making financial services affordable to the poor despite the depth of poverty in the region.
