The Maya Declaration is the global initiative for responsible, modern, and sustainable financial inclusion that aims to reduce poverty and ensure financial stability for the benefit of all.

As guardian of the Declaration, AFI is committed to supporting its members in fully achieving their commitments to contribute to more inclusive development and poverty alleviation across developing and emerging countries.

It was launched at the AFI Global Policy Forum in Riviera Maya, Mexico in September 2011.

In countries where AFI member institutions made commitments to the Maya Declaration, the combined total reduction of the unbanked populations has gone from 56 percent in 2011 to 42 percent in 2014.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE COMMITMENTS

To further strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of the Maya Declaration, AFI has launched the AFI Data Portal (ADP), which will allow members to:

> Announce new Maya commitments

> Report progress on existing commitments

> Check their peers’ status of progress through achieving commitments

Overall, the ADP will strengthen peer learning in financial inclusion policymaking, and facilitate the measurement and comparison of progress made in advancing financial inclusion. The AFI Data Portal can be accessed at www.afi-dataportal.org
