Past CFI projects include:

• Financial Access at Birth (FAB). FAB is a social and economic innovation founded on a belief that every life deserves the dignity of financial citizenship. FAB provides a model to reach this goal via establishment of a $100 savings account in conjunction with birth registration and mobile and electronic branchless banking. 
• Energy Links. Energy Links addressed energy poverty in East Africa and Mali by forging links between providers of renewable energy, (especially solar lamps and biomass briquettes), and financial services providers (savings groups and microfinance institutions) to enable families far from the energy grid to enjoy access to clean energy.
• There are many unforeseen issues microfinance institutions (MFIs) must deal with when they decide to drop the “not” in their “not-for-profit” status. The Aligning Stakeholder Interests project examined the issues that cause a misalignment of interests for stakeholders during this transformation process. This project was a partnership between CFI's Investing in Inclusive Finance team and Calmeadow.
