MIX Unveils ‘Africa Map of Financial Inclusion for the Poor’

Together with The MasterCard Foundation, MIX has launched the “Africa Map of Financial Inclusion for the Poor” aiming to contribute to better understanding by practitioners and policymakers of the access to finance in Africa. Since until recently there was no proper information on financial services for the poor in Africa, thus limiting growth and investment in the sector, now the situation is about to change. Not only did MIX provide raw data from surveys and analysis of the data but also they released a visual map representing the data in an easily comprehensive way.
