Visited @geep_ng Command Center in Abuja yest. Central Dashboard + Call Center for management of #TraderMoni #FarmerMoni #MarketMoni.

Center holds the data of the more than 4m Nigerians registered till date [2.4m beneficiaries so far]

GEEP Software 100% designed by Nigerians!

3D printed foodstuff to recreate the feel of a Nigerian market. Nah these are not real fruits/vegetables/meat. All 3D printed.

H/T @uzonwagba, Chief Operating Officer, GEEP, for the Tour.

One of the most important things #TraderMoni & co (the GEEP suite) have accomplished is financial inclusion: all beneficiaries (petty traders, artisans etc) get mobile wallets, through which they receive their loans. And it’s a chance to start building a credit history.

Some interesting numbers. @geep_ng has a nationwide network of 17,000 data collection agents, enumerating beneficiaries, using a custom-made app.

- The agents collect 43 data points on each enumerated person.

- More than 50% of the 2.4m beneficiaries so far are women.
