Research, data and evaluation experience applied to real-world development challenges.
Financial inclusion research requires more than asking whether people have access to a financial product. It requires understanding how households, farmers, workers and enterprises earn, save, borrow, invest and respond to economic opportunities. PrimeMetrics brings relevant experience from research on agricultural finance, enterprise activity, social protection and economic empowerment.
Our core team's work has included agricultural credit programmes, enterprise surveys, women-focused economic empowerment interventions, skills and employment programmes, cash transfer beneficiaries and small-scale cross-border traders. These studies have provided exposure to the financial and economic realities faced by households and businesses across different settings.
We use a combination of household, enterprise, beneficiary and market-level research to generate evidence that can support programme design, targeting, implementation and evaluation.
Research on access, use and experiences with financial and credit-related services.
