As countries around the world take measures to protect their populations against the spread of the coronavirus, it is clear that this pandemic will have not only far-reaching public health consequences but also severe economic effects. As always, poor and marginalized people without access to adequate safety nets are the most at risk.
This Resource Hub on COVID-19 provides a collective space for our community of financial inclusion and microfinance practitioners to share experiences, ideas and lessons learned as we all strive to manage this unprecedented global crisis.

Our Weekly Update aims to help with deluge of information on COVID-19 by curating the most relevant resources for the financial inclusion and microfinance sector. We hope that by making research, data and lessons from past experiences available all in one place we can facilitate research and informed decision-making.

To help our community navigate the complex web of data that organizations around the globe are tracking, we have listed the most important sources by their level of relevance to the financial inclusion sector.  We will regularly update this Guide as more data becomes available.
