The Maya Declaration

The Maya Declaration is broad in nature, focusing on creating the right environment; implementing the correct framework; ensuring consumer protection measures are taken and using data to inform and track financial inclusion efforts.

Since its launch at the 2011 Global Policy Forum (GPF) in Mexico, members of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) have made concrete financial inclusion targets, continued to implement in-country policy improvements and regularly shared progress updates on the AFI Data Portal (ADP).

The Maya Declaration is the first global and measurable set of commitments made by developing countries to increase financial inclusion.

It is underpinned by three core values that have sustained the impact of the platform: The Maya Declaration has paved the way for the development and implementation of various accords over the years.

We remain dedicated to making financial inclusion a reality through concerted domestic and global actions, and actively sharing our knowledge and experience through the AFI network.
