It develops insights, advocates on behalf of clients, and collaborates with stakeholders to achieve a comprehensive vision for financial inclusion. In 2009 CFI launched the Smart Campaign, a global consumer protection standard for the excluded and underserved; the Smart Campaign continues to work to embed client protection practices into the institutional culture and operations of the financial inclusion industry. In 2018, the Smart Campaign achieved a key milestone when it certified its 100th financial institution for adhering to the Campaigns rigorous client protection principles. At the end of 2018, the Smart Campaign had certified 106 institutions that served more than 43 million clients. Other key CFI programs include a fellowship program in governance and risk management designed for board members and CEOs of financial service providers in sub-Saharan Africa, an executive education program that provides high-level management and leadership training to those shaping the microfinance industry, and new research that addresses key industry challenges.
