Youth financial inclusion involves multiple, intersecting facets with policies relating to education, entrepreneurship promotion, life skills education, women’s financial inclusion, and rural development.

Youth financial inclusion is an important layer of all of these policies, and a multifaceted, coordinated policy effort will enable a sustainable youth strengthening agenda with real results.

The objective of this document is to provide practical guidance to AFI members and other financial inclusion policymakers seeking to integrate youth financial inclusion into their National Financial Inclusion Strategies (NFIS).
