Endorsed by AFI members at the 2011 AFI Global Policy Forum in Riviera Maya, Mexico, the Maya Declaration comprises AFI members’ commitments that are bringing formal financial services to the world’s unbanked.

Since its launch, the volume of public pledges has continued to rise with 71 AFI members having made 837 financial inclusion targets. This upwards trend is reflected in a 14 percent annual jump in commitments made in 2020, including – and most importantly – in targets that address cross-cutting thematic areas, such as gender-inclusive finance and youth financial inclusion.

In this 2020 Maya Declaration progress report, we highlight key success stories from AFI’s five regions over the past year to share best practices and practical know-how.
