With support from the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and advice from the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA), the Financial Health Network (FHN) undertook a study to better understand how to catalyze private financial sector action on financial health globally. Building off of the UNSGSA Financial Health Working Group, FHN conducted a wide-ranging feasibility study to assess how financial services providers across the globe are engaging with financial health, what kind of support they need to deepen their engagement, and how best to structure a platform to help them do so.
