The thematic areas cut across the three most pressing needs of target demographic (defined as those earning N50,000 or less per month):

  • Thematic Area 1: Access to Liquidity
    • Leveraging platforms and innovative models to facilitate electronic payments, enable income-earning opportunities, provide access to credit, and/or provide investment opportunities to low-income households and MSMEs.
  • Thematic Area 2: Access to Healthcare
    • Developing innovative ways to leverage financial service-enabled solutions to drive access to healthcare to low-income households and individuals, including solutions that can open access for women and children.
