Global Inclusion Awards
The Global Inclusion Awards (GIA), recognize and honor those who achieve greatness in furthering the Economic Citizenship of children and youth at the national, regional and international level. The Awardees demonstrate innovation in financial, social and livelihoods education, financial inclusion, and entrepreneurial support for children and youth.
The GIA was initiated by Child & Youth Finance International (CYFI) in 2012 and was handed over to the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) at the end of 2019.
