The study
i2i is in the process of developing new frameworks aimed at measuring the use of financial services beyond mere uptake.

Researchers who are interested in participating as service providers to this study need to demonstrate a track record of conducting advanced financial inclusion or credit risk-related research and publishing in credible academic journals. Applicants must have demonstrable experience in conducting rigorous statistical analysis on survey and/or similar bureau data.
