Nigeria Financial Inclusion and Economic Empowerment Priorities

Systems Strengthening

EFInA provides capacity building and technical advisory to eco-system stakeholders including policymakers, regulators, and financial service providers to bridge the knowledge and capacity gaps and achieving a more efficient and effective financial market.

Our systems strengthening tool is built around two thematic areas:

A. Capacity Building Initiatives.

B. Technical advisory programs.

Capacity Building

- Identifying the skill/knowledge gaps among different stakeholder groups (needs assessment) in order of priority and expected impact

- Developing a strategic plan that addresses the highlighted and prioritised area with clear goals and objectives

- Designing and executing through targeted knowledge transfer sessions

- Establishing systems that monitor performance and impact of training sessions and creating channels for continuous feedback from stakeholders

Technical Advisory

  • Understanding specific technical issues
  • Diagnosing and pinpointing root causes, identifying areas for improvement
  • Developing customised solutions incorporating best practices as well as an action plan
    for implementation
  • Providing guidance and oversight during the implementation of the recommended
    solution
  • Establishing structured M&E frameworks that track progress and impact of intervention

EFInA will use all its tools (research, funding innovation, advocacy and capacity building) to promote the spread of agent networks into areas which would not otherwise be served, including North East and North West Nigeria.
