We are halfway towards the 2030 SDG targets, so now is the right time for government leaders and researchers to assess the power of digital financial inclusion to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The digital event will highlight what has been achieved, what has been learned, and new ideas for catalyzing faster progress, with a focus on Gender Equality (SDG 5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), and Climate Action (SDG 13).

Join us the week before the UN General Assembly when Heads of State and Government will review progress towards the SDGs, and get ahead of this important debate.
