BFA Global, funded by FSD Kenya, undertook a comprehensive financial diaries study in Kenya. Over the course of one year, BFA Global designed a sample study for the low-income population segments in Kenya which included the use of research instruments, provision of an implementation plan, presenting data and analyzing the collected data. Through elaborate analysis of the financial diaries data, BFA Global accomplished an in-depth understanding of financial behaviors and needs across a representative range of low-income population segments in Kenya, to inform market expansion, specifically the branchless models.
The BFA Global team, together with FSD Kenya, conducted interviews with previous Financial Diaries participants to understand how low-income Kenyans are coping with the impact of COVID-19 in their lives. We share key insights from the research in a blog series.
Julie Zollman, a researcher at BFA Global, will be launching her book Living on Little: Navigating Financial Scarcity in Modern Kenya, at the 6th annual FSD Kenya lecture, based on FSD Kenya’s Financial Diaries project. The book will demonstrate the many deep and overlooked ways that scarcity shapes the lives of ordinary Kenyans, drawing on four years of systematic research with nearly 300 low-income families.
