The Systemic Approach: A Framework for Sustainable Change

Webinar

18 June 2019 9:00 am - 10:00 am EDT
This event has concluded.

How can funders and implementers of financial inclusion programs generate sustainable change? CGAP advocates a systemic approach to financial inclusion that considers all aspects of a market system and nudges market actors to take up missing or weak market functions. This approach requires a conscious rethinking of everything from market diagnostics to program design and monitoring.

Speakers covered designing for and monitoring systemic change with the Adopt-Adapt-Expand-Respond (AAER) framework, and examined the systemic approach in action using real examples from Kenya and the Philippines.
