UNCDF's Policy Accelerator program emerges as a critical partner to governments, co-orchestrating a symphony of policy change across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

Drawing a straight line from capacity-building to policy change is likely impossible. But we can still bring structure and rigor to a holistic assessment process.

UNCDF Policy Accelerator and the Arab Monetary Fund are working together to support financial inclusion and digital financial services in the Arab region, as part of our approach to collaborating with a wide range of development partners, as well as a natural extension of our ongoing and planned work in North Africa.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our capacity-building trainings have shifted online. We’ve learned that when you identify clear regulatory goals, engage a cross-section of stakeholders, support internal champions, and invest in your team, capacity-building can accelerate policy change.

29 participants from 14 institutions will work together intensively for two months to identify and develop policy solutions in promotion of Egypt's National Financial Inclusion Strategy.
