Meet the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Digital Financial Inclusion

- 45min

Financial exclusion remains a significant barrier to sustainable development and equitable growth, and is an under-explored topic in United Nations policymaking fora. This in-person convening of the Dynamic Coalition on Digital Financial Inclusion - an intersessional working group convened under the auspices of the UN Internet Governance Forum - will offer the Interledger community an opportunity to substantively feed into the work of the Dynamic Coalition as it explores how the adoption of open, global interoperable payment networks can overcome existing barriers and leverage opportunities to enhance financial inclusion across diverse stakeholder groups. We invite participation from the Interledger community to engage with select members of the Dynamic Coalition and outside experts, and to share case studies on how ILP-driven solutions are contributing towards economic participation and growth. Inputs will later be shared with the entire Dynamic Coalition and will feed into its final report, thus setting the stage for ongoing dialogue and action which contributes to the broader objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals.
