FinDev stands for “Financial Inclusion for Development.” The name is meant to convey the important contribution of financial inclusion in achieving global development goals.
FinDev Gateway has served the microfinance community for over 20 years, first as the Microfinance Gateway and now, as of October 2018, as FinDev Gateway. Over the years, the microfinance and financial inclusion landscape has evolved, our audience has expanded, and FinDev Gateway has changed accordingly to keep up with the needs of this evolving sector.
Today’s FinDev is an interactive knowledge-sharing platform that engages a more diverse audience through publications, blogs, webinars, communities of practice and events. We now cover a wide range of topics beyond traditional microfinance. While microfinance practitioners continue to be an important part of our audience, FinDev Gateway users include digital financial service providers, technology firms, investors, and others who work more broadly on financial inclusion. The new name is more inclusive and better reflects what FinDev Gateway is today, not what it used to be.
