surface-level symptom of marginalisation, where such marginalisation occurs at a systemic and structural level cutting across individual, social and economic spheres. AFR must understand how, where and why certain groups (women, youth, PWD, informal sector and refugees) are marginalised in order to understand why they are underserved, and thus to meaningfully address these particular barriers to foster lasting and productive financial inclusion in order to increase welfare. This will require exploring and analysing the root causes of exclusion found in the core of the market system as well as in supporting functions and rules including working with policymakers and regulators to improve the enabling environment for greater inclusion. This phase will focus on utilisation of financial services in order to meet a need including usage and outcomes particularly in (i) ensuring ability to pay for services (ii) financing for implementation of initiatives targeting basic services (iii) promoting resilience and ability to manage risk (iv) ensuring equal access to basic services amongst disadvantaged groups, and (v) providing payments mechanisms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d67e3d4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d67e3d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Unlocking Livelihoods through Financing Women-owned MSEs<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-274c724 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"274c724\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5531d5 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"a5531d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInLeft&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:300}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5db04fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"5db04fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Investment\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbf517e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dbf517e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2fa564 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c2fa564\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4101fcf elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"4101fcf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tObjectives\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo strengthen SMEs including (SMEs owned\/led or benefiting women) capabilities to overcome gaps in financial practices, business growth skills and information asymmetry by enhancing technical, managerial, market knowledge, financial and non-financial capacity building in order to prepare them for appropriate financing opportunities.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d391363 elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"d391363\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKey Project targets\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li style=\" color: #fff; \">Increased access and usage of appropriate financing for at least 50 SMEs in productive sectors and at the early growth stage.

of innovative and pro-poor financial services (iii) creating an efficient and competitive financial market, and (iv) facilitating growth across key job creating sectors of the economy. As such, in Phase III, AFR will play a key role in the development and dissemination of information to help develop a more efficient financial market in Rwanda, while at the same time developing the capacity of market players to develop and disseminate information for the benefit of market growth and sustainability after AFR\u2019s exit. This recognises that various financial markets remain underdeveloped and continue to need (at least in the short to medium term) public investments to help address the information and knowledge gaps. Engagement of a diverse spectrum of stakeholders furthers AFR\u2019s credibility as a preferred partner for interested stakeholders, and provides an opportunity for dialogue and learning that is fundamental in supporting programme staff to influence market players to change their behaviour for the benefit of the poor. AFR will continue to develop and cultivate relationships and networks with, among, and between producers and users of knowledge by providing linkages, knowledge sources, and in some cases knowledge itself, (e.g. technical know-how, market insights, research evidence).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7c1a03 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c7c1a03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Strengthening data analytics capacity in Rwanda\u2019s financial ecosystem<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f9aed07 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f9aed07\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-edca1da elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"edca1da\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd0107d elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"fd0107d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Investment\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6b70be elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e6b70be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b714e4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3b714e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a13a84f elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"a13a84f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tObjectives\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe overall objective of the project is to strengthen the data analytics capacity of Financial Services Providers (FSPs), regulators, and industry associations in Rwanda for improved data-driven culture and decision-making.

Digital technology has played a pivotal role in expanding the access and usage of financial services as highlighted by the 2016 and 2020 FinScope Surveys. The importance of digital technology is seen particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic which is constraining many other delivery channels. AFR will continue, and potentially expand, its current digital infrastructure interventions such as interoperability of payment platforms and agent networks to facilitate inclusion of marginalised segments and deliver appropriate services to micro, small and medium enterprises. It will also focus on non-digital infrastructure interventions such as supporting the development of credit reference bureaus, collateral and contracts registries and platforms to support access to trade finance (factoring) and capital market instruments. AFR will also play a key role in ensuring that deepening of the digital financial sector is done responsibly; that is, the digital divide should narrow, not expand, and the sector must be demand-led and based on principles of integrity, consumer protection and empowerment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section
