ReFinD would like to thank applicants for the second ReFinD request for proposals (RFP) which closed on March 31, 2023. Garnering proposals from Africa and Asia across all five grant categories, the second RFP recorded a marked increase in the received number of applications compared to last year’s round.
Members of ReFinD have attended CSAE 2023, a three-day international conference held at Oxford University, United Kingdom, organised by the Center for the Study of African Economies (CSAE). As official exhibitors, the team showcased ReFinD to hundreds of conference participants and engaged in activities aimed at promoting and deepening the visibility of the research initiative.
ReFinD organized information sessions bringing together prospective applicants from Africa, Asia, and beyond. The sessions covered instructive presentations, a tour of the newly introduced application portal, and questions and answers.
The virtual stakeholder engagement events were held on March 1st, 8th, and 9th. The latter was focused on commercial providers of agent network services.
