Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion

Policy Memoranda 2011

FOREWORD

These policy memoranda were prepared as part of The Fletcher School Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion, an innovative training initiative designed for banking regulators and policymakers from emerging and frontier markets to promote and further develop their work on policy and regulation in financial services for the poor. The three-part program includes: a two-week training session focused on key content issues in financial inclusion, the global context shaping these topics, and the relevant skills needed by regulators to effectively promote their policy objectives; a remote period to research, write, and perfect original policy memos pertinent to a timely in-country issue in financial inclusion; and a final working session at an international conference hosted by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion. In 2011, the program hosted nine regulators from eight countries: Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Namibia, Peru, the Philippines, and Tanzania. Their policy memos are contained herein.

The training is held at The Fletcher School, the United States' first professional graduate school of international relations, and is administered by Fletcher's Center for Emerging Market Enterprises (CEME), which conducts research, training, and consulting in promotion of inclusive economic growth, effective and responsible leadership across borders, and strategic innovation in the emerging and frontier market space. The Fletcher School, part of Tufts University, is located in Medford, Massachusetts.

The program is led by Kim Wilson, Lecturer at The Fletcher School and CEME Senior Fellow, and Nicholas Sullivan, also a CEME Senior Fellow. Program advisors include Claire Alexandre of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, David Porteous of Bankable Frontier Associates, and Michael Tarazi of the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP).

The Fletcher School Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion is funded in its first year by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
