A grant from the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth supports new initiative to advance digital infrastructures that addresses the needs of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

We are all consumers, everyday, everywhere. And when things go wrong we pay the price. Sometimes that price is something small, sometimes the price can be our health, our rights, our lives. In recent decades consumer protection has improved in many countries. Yet Consumers International's mission is more urgent than ever. Many consumers still lack basic protections and as the world has globalised and digitalised, changes to the global marketplace are outpacing consumer protection. Too often consumers are left at a disadvantage with the companies and governments they encounter, leaving them exposed to unsafe, unfair or unethical practice.CI wants to change this and ensure that the voice of consumers is as powerful as the governments and corporations they interact with. Achieving this will ensure everyone can realise the benefits of our increasingly globalised and digital world. In a time where companies often have huge global reach, lets think big and act together.
