Inclusive, creative, local The world is as good as its ideas. Locally rooted creativity, combined with global market knowledge can result in commercially viable business solutions. While they evolve and mature, the success of these great ideas often depends on their creator's access to finance.The knowledge and innovative strength of more than half of the world’s population is currently neglected. Income growth is core to poverty reduction; access to finance critical to income growth. We are convinced that inclusive access to finance can profoundly impact economic development and accelerate the fight against poverty, especially in those areas still underserved at this moment. Our business Ayani, Inclusive Financial Sector Consultants BV is an international finance management and consulting company. Incorporated in the Netherlands, with offices in Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe), the Middle East (Egypt) and Asia (the Philippines), we offer regional expertise to complement our global experience.
