Brian Pomeroy, Chair of the Financial Inclusion Taskforce, kicked-off a series of seminars aimed at assessing the record and lessons of recent efforts on financial inclusion. 'Where next on financial inclusion?' will seek to identify the most successful approches which should be built upon and deepened.

The series will ask why were some approaches to financial inclusion were less successful, or percieved as less relevant to those they were aimed at? The series is kindly supported by Provident Financial.
