As part of its active participation in the 2025 Evidence to Action Conference and Exhibition (E2A2025), ReFinD hosted an engaging exhibition that drew the attention of dignitaries, including the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim.
ReFinD researchers and project team members participated in the international conference “Access to Agency: Empowering Women through Digital Inclusion”, engaging in thematic discussions and hosting an exhibition that showcased the initiative’s latest research and activities.
A newly published study supported by ReFinD provides fresh insights into how governments, particularly those in resource-constrained environments, can effectively drive digital transformation within FinTech ecosystems. Titled “Government-Led Digital Transformation in FinTech Ecosystems”, the paper offers a compelling shift from traditional approaches to understanding public sector innovation.
Reaching the last mile remains one of the biggest challenges in expanding access to financial services across Ghana. In the Central Region, where some communities still lack mobile money services, ReFinD introduced a promising pilot aimed at narrowing that gap. Through the Mobile Money Agent Network Expansion and Productivity project, researchers are supporting mobile money agents to reach remote, underserved areas—places often overlooked due to the high cost and logistical effort involved.
