These data snapshots were generated from the 2022 CGAP Funder Survey (see publication and methodology). They may be browsed online and you can copy the graphics to share and use in your own presentations.

Data snapshots are available at the global and regional level. Each snapshot showcases data responding to the following questions:

  • How much international funding is going to support financial inclusion?
  • What do funders fund? (themes, funding purpose)
  • Who do they fund? (recipients)
  • How do they fund? (funding instruments)
  • Where do they fund? (geographic allocation of funding)

Global Data

 

Regional Data

 

Methodology

The total global estimate of international funding for financial inclusion is calculated based on: (i) the CGAP Funder Survey data, plus (ii) microfinance exposures data in the Tameo Impact Fund Solutions PAIF Report, minus (iii) duplicate funding captured in both datasets, and incorporating (iv) appropriate market adjustments. The global estimate excludes policy-based lending activities. 

The 2023 Tameo Impact Fund Solutions PAIF Report is an analysis of investment funds targeting emerging and frontier markets with a development impact focus. Its primary function is to allow impact investors and fund managers to benchmark themselves and improve their knowledge of the industry.

How The CGAP Funder Survey Is Compiled

The CGAP Funder Survey is conducted annually. For 2022, CGAP collected data from the survey’s full set (47 funders), comprising $46.2 billion in commitments. To enable comparability of data over time, year-over-year analysis outside the global estimate is based on a subset of the 30 funders that have consistently participated in the survey and accounted for $41.6 billion of 2022 commitments. For the 2022 edition of the survey, funders were invited to participate in a supplemental qualitative survey. Twenty-five responses were received.
