The Global Assets Project’s mission is to advance public policies that build savings and assets for poor, low- and moderate-income persons -- tackling poverty and financial exclusion -- around the world. The Project also aims to serve as a bridge across the key elements of microfinance, financial education, social policy, and commercial financial services. In the future, these seemingly diverse areas will be much more integrated than they are today. The Global Assets Project will work to inform and stimulate innovations to achieve this integration.

With generous support from the Levi Strauss Foundation, the Global Assets Project is a joint venture between the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis and the Asset Building Program of the New America Foundation.
