Financial Inclusion data for WomenFinScope surveys

Types of insights on women’s financial inclusion users can gain

FinScope advantages

• Comprehensiveness of data• Modules on informal financial services • Segmentations capability

• to determine whether exclusions are systematic (due to supply) or individual (due to individual capacity)

• FinScope has high levels of stakeholder involvement.

o ministries of finance o and ministries of women’s

affairs • This in turn enhances data use

by the end stakeholders.• Financial inclusion roadmaps /

national strategies

• Why our demand adds up differently

• So when we want to capture usage this presents a dilemma

• Unit of analysis • Supply-side – number of subscriptions• Demand side – adult population

• Multiplicity of subscriptions

• Suppliers have accurate information on numbers of accounts, volumes, and frequency.

• Supply-side data is more accurate than demand side but does not report on adult population – reports on client base

• Definitions of usage are currently confined to ‘bank accounts only’
