The opportunity
In 2006, FSD Kenya funded the first nationally representative
survey on access to financial services in Kenya, subsequently referred to as
FinAccess 2006, which gave the first reliable measure of the national demand
for and use of financial services at the individual level.
Within a relatively short period FinAccess has been established
as the leading source of reliable data on financial access in Kenya and is
widely cited in the media and by Government, the private sector and
international development partners.
The last survey was conducted in 2009 and plans are well
underway for the next round of the FinAccess demand and supply-side surveys. We
are also initiating studies looking at the demand and supply of financial
services to businesses.
We are now looking for a Project Coordinator for
FinAccess who will be responsible for the implementation of the FinAccess
studies.
This position requires a dynamic and self-motivated person with
an understanding of financial inclusion issues and an understanding for the
landscape of financial service providers in Kenya.
S/he will be responsible for the FinAccess project management,
reporting, budgeting and procurement.
