  • Client:

    International Finance Corporation (IFC)

    Congo Democratic Republic Of The
    Ghana

    Tanzania

  • Date:

    2015

  • Project name:

    Development of case studies and a handbook on alternative distribution channels for four financial institutions in Africa

Genesis Analytics was commissioned to conduct a risk assessment of the alternative distribution channel (ADC) strategy of four different financial institutions in Kenya, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Tanzania.

In each instance, the project team developed a risk assessment framework and identified the kind of project risks that the institutions had experienced.

The insights from the case studies informed the drafting of a handbook on how to identify and mitigate the risks involved in implementing ADCs in financial services institutions in low-income environments.
