How well are countries addressing needs of financial inclusion in bringing critical financial services to the unbanked? This is a question a recent study by the Brookings Institution aimed to answer.<\/p>\n

The 2016 Brookings Financial and Digital Inclusion Project Report<\/a> aims to analyze financial inclusion environments in 26 countries based on four key indicators: country commitment, mobile capacity, regulatory environment, and adoption of selected traditional and digital financial services.<\/p>\n

Of these 26 countries analyzed in the report, several are nations that FINCA has programs in: Haiti, Malawi, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.<\/p>\n

So how did these countries fare? Overall, of the ten FINCA locations, Uganda<\/a> fared especially well. Ranked at #5 with a 78 percent overall score, the report found that the expansion of mobile money services has helped to facilitate greater access to basic financial services for Ugandans.<\/p>\n
