ReFinD convened a high-level roundtable on “Enhancing Governance in Agent Banking Networks for Deeper Financial Inclusion at the Last Mile,” bringing together people from Ghana’s financial sector ecosystem including providers,  agents, and academics alongside the regulator. Organised as part of the Evidence to Action Conference 2025 (E2A 2025), the roundtable provided an inclusive and neutral platform for open dialogue, policy reflection, and knowledge exchange -- rooted in practice and evidence.

A cross-section of researchers, students, and enthusiasts in digital financial inclusion gathered for a ReFinD research dissemination session themed “Bridging the Last Mile: Evidence in Expanding Digital Finance to the Last Mile.” The session showcased five ReFinD-funded research projects, exploring how digital finance tools are shaping access and opportunity for underserved populations.
