In Rwanda, as a part of its Financial Inclusion for Refugees programme, UNCDF is championing the formation and strengthening of savings groups complemented with digital and financial literacy for refugees and host communities.UNCDF is also testing mechanisms for delivering financial and digital education using tablets, an SMS platform, short videos and supplementary face-to-face training sessions. Because participation in savings groups and usage of mobile financial services can have a clear and direct impact on livelihoods, economic growth, and inclusive social and economic development, UNCDF supports these interventions, along with the necessary financial and digital literacy to use them, in and around the refugee camps in Rwanda, benefiting both the refugee and host communities, with a focus on women and youth.

UNCDF is looking to hire a local Research Firm to collect baseline and end-line data on financial knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors and on the socio-economic profiles of respondents in UNCDF’s target refugee settlements and districts during the pilot phase of the aforementioned project.
