The Financial Sector Deepening Trust (FSD) Kenya commissioned Genesis to carry out an in-depth analysis on how and to what extent MSMEs had been impacted by the significant developments in the country's financial sector since 2005.

Genesis has been evaluating the FSB’s consumer education department’s (CED’s) project portfolio since 2015 and has also become the FSB’s learning partner in the financial capabilities space.

Genesis was contracted by Compuscan to provide monitoring and evaluation support to the Ground Up, a  rural and agricultural finance credit bureau and identification system in Uganda.

Genesis is conducting an impact evaluation of Building Assets, Unlocking Access, a programme by Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), in collaboration with local financial service providers (FSPs) in Kenya and Uganda. 

Genesis was asked to develop a learning agenda for the FSB’s consumer-education project portfolio. This includes specific learning questions that are answered through various research methods, drawing on the monitoring and evaluation of the FSB’s current and future projects, as well as additional research gathered from financial-service providers, policy-makers and researchers. 

FSDA contracted Genesis to conduct an assessment of their nine monitoring and results measurement systems and to develop bespoke training sessions to build its capacity.

Genesis was contracted to do an impact evaluation of CARE Canada’s Promoting Opportunities for Women’s Economic Empowerment in Rural Africa (POWER Africa) initiative in Rwanda. Funded by the MasterCard Foundation, POWER aims to improve financial inclusion in Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia and Rwanda by linking village loan and savings associations with formal financial institutions. 

Genesis conducted an evaluation of CARE International’s Scale Up project that sought to reach 300,000 new Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) members of whom 75% were to be women.

Genesis was contracted to do the final evaluation of Banking on Change, a partnership between Barclays, CARE International UK and Plan UK aimed at extending savings-led financial services to vulnerable individuals.
