Access to financial services – whether in the form of savings, credit, money transfers or insurance – is a fundamental tool for improving a family’s well-being and productive capacity. Access to financial services empowers the poor by reducing their vulnerability, and offering them opportunities to improve their lives.

CGAP's Organization

CGAP Annual Meetings: CGAP’s Council of Governors, Executive Committee, and Operational Team meet every year to discuss some of the latest issues and challenges from across the microfinance field and review CGAP’s work.

The Council Of Governors: The Council of Governors is the membership and governance body of CGAP. It is responsible for setting CGAP's broad policies and strategic directions, providing inputs to the annual workplan and budget, adopting and implementing CGAP consensus guidelines, and determining the future of CGAP. The CG is comprised of representatives from all of CGAP's members: bilateral and multilateral development agencies, regional development banks, private foundations, and international financial institutions.

The Executive Committee: The Executive Committee functions as CGAP's board and executive governing body. It has principal oversight of CGAP's activities and is responsible for providing strategic guidance to the Operational Team, and approving the workplan and budget on behalf of the CG.

The Investment Committee: The Investment Committee is the fiduciary oversight body that acts on behalf of the Council of Governors. It is responsible for deciding on key CGAP investments and for projects with a budget of more than $100,000.

Working at CGAP

Working at CGAP means an opportunity to learn about new trends and developments that affect access to finance, and to engage directly with the financial institutions, funding organizations, government policymakers and regulators, and other actors – including low-income clients themselves -- who are concerned about building inclusive financial systems. It is also an opportunity to interact and explore synergies with a broad range of development organizations that are focused on alleviating the many dimensions of poverty.
