More and more, AFI members are developing national financial inclusion strategies (NFIS) to meet their financial inclusion goals. To support its members and address the challenges of national coordination, AFI has established the Financial Inclusion Strategy Peer Learning Group (FISPLG). The FISPLG met for the first time in Abuja, Nigeria in October 2012, in conjunction with the launch of Nigeria’s NFIS.

At its second meeting on 6-7 March 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand, 26 members of the FISPLG worked together to create a National Financial Inclusion Strategy Timeline, which documented the steps AFI member institutions have taken to develop and implement financial inclusion strategies in their countries.
