NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

It has been a few months since we released “Financial Health as a Global Framework” along with our project partners CFSI, Dalberg Design Impact Group, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Since we launched the report, we have been hearing about individual and organizational efforts to better define and use financial health as a way to better empower people in emerging markets. Building on this momentum we have been hearing, we are considering forming a global financial health community that includes governments, NGOs, financial services providers, researchers, and others that are all exploring this concept. We are confident that we can learn a great deal from one another, building on the great work that is already beginning around the world. Please consider joining us for a virtual dialogue to discuss this possibility on Tuesday, August 29 at 9:30 am EST. We will have presentations from a few organizations and individuals who are thinking about financial health, a virtual roundtable discussion, and some thoughts on next steps to pursue together as a community.
