    • Financial inclusion is incredibly important. It refers to everyone having access to and effectively using affordable financial products and services. This review focusses on the role of financial inclusion as strategic tool in poverty reduction. The paper used a narrative approach to describe the nature and the significance of financial inclusion, and how in contributes to the poverty reduction. It describes poverty as a complex issue involving serious deprivation, social exclusion, and resource inequality, while financial inclusion is described as a crucial strategy for macroeconomic stability, fostering low-income families, reducing poverty, fostering job creation, and fostering economic growth. Contemporary records show that the world population has made progress in reducing poverty rates from 20% to 10%, but poverty levels remain high. Thus, this paper argues that financial inclusion is a key factor in reducing multidimensional poverty, increasing income equalities and reducing inequalities. To reduce poverty, governments should improve financial literacy and technology awareness among young people and impoverished communities. Financial institutions should improve access to finance and promote financial inclusion, enhancing social well-being. Collaboration between governments and communities is crucial for eradicating poverty. Establishing a policy and institutional framework is essential, maintaining income levels, meeting basic human needs, and minimizing external threats.
