The document outlines a framework to impact the unbanked through inclusive development, regional integration, and impact investing. It recommends growing infrastructure and agriculture to kickstart inclusive development. Regional integration could foster trade and larger markets. Impact investing could scale business models to create bigger social impact by bringing billions from new investors. Two case studies show challenges addressed through innovations with significant impacts: a fund harvesting gum Arabic in Mali created jobs and payments to farmers; a social impact bond in Pakistan developed affordable housing providing homes for over 6,000 people.
