At the 2010 G20 Summit, the use of formal financial services was recognized as one of the main pillars of the global development agenda. At the same time, the fifth goal of the Sustainable development agenda outlined the importance of gender inclusion for sustainable development. Empirical research on the effect of gender inclusion on inclusive finance has however been limited to micro level studies. This study aims to verify the effect of gender political inclusion on financial inclusion on a sample of 37 African countries from 2004-2020. The empirical methodology involves the OLS, the Tobit regression and the System GMM methodologies. The results from these methods show that gender political inclusion is enhancing on financial inclusion in Africa, and this finding is robust across alternative specifications of gender inclusion and inclusive finance. Besides, governance exhibits a positive synergy effect with gender political inclusion on inclusive finance. Policy implications are discussed.

在 2010 年 G20 峰会上，正规金融服务的使用被认为是全球发展议程的主要支柱之一。同时，可持续发展议程第五个目标概述了性别包容对于可持续发展的重要性。然而，关于性别包容对普惠金融影响的实证研究仅限于微观层面的研究。本研究旨在以 2004 年至 2020 年 37 个非洲国家为样本，验证性别政治包容性对金融包容性的影响。实证方法包括 OLS、Tobit 回归和系统 GMM 方法。这些方法的结果表明，性别政治包容性正在增强非洲的金融包容性，这一发现在性别包容性和普惠性金融的其他规范中都是强有力的。此外，治理与性别政治包容对普惠金融表现出积极的协同效应。讨论了政策影响。
