Strategic Priorities

CGAP’s mission is to improve poor people’s access to convenient and affordable financial services so that they can improve their living conditions and build a better future. 

CGAP has five core areas of work to help make our vision of permanent access to affordable and client-responsive financial services a reality.

• Developing and strengthening a wide range of institutions and means, both financial and non-financial, that deliver financial services to the poor
• Improving the quality and availability of information about institutional financial performance
• Establishing supportive legal and regulatory frameworks
• Improving aid effectiveness
• Reaching poor and unserved clients and ensuring impact on their lives
