Study Type
Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey Series Information
The FinScope Rwanda 2016 Survey is the third FinScope Survey conducted in Rwanda. The first survey was conducted by FinMark Trust in 2008 under the auspices of the National Bank of Rwanda with main objective to provide baseline data on access to financial services in Rwanda and to provide insights and understanding in assistance to the Rwandan Government in terms of the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy I (EDPRS I).The Financial Sector Development Programme( FSDPII) underscores the need to continuously assess the progress made towards achieving the financial inclusion objectives/targets for Rwanda, and the FinScope Survey is suggested as the main reliable way to do assess progress.
It is against this background that AFR conducted the FinScope Rwanda 2012 Survey. The results of the 2012 survey have been widely used by government for policy and strategic guidance of the financial sector through the Financial Sector Development Program II (FSDPII), and have been used by the private financial institutions for strategic decisions.
The Government of Rwanda through AFR initiated the third FinScope survey with an intention to continue measuring progress in financial inclusion. FinScope 2016 is expected to illustrate how many adult Rwandans were linked to financial inclusion specifically formal accounts through different sector interventions.

Overview
Abstract
The FinScope survey provides a holistic understanding of how individuals generate an income and how they manage their financial lives. It identifies the factors that drive financial behaviour and those that prevent individuals from using financial products and services. Implementing the FinScope survey over time provides the opportunity to assess whether, and how, a country's situation changes.
The main objectives of the FinScope Rwanda 2016 Survey was to:
- Describe the levels of financial inclusion (i.e. levels of access to financial products and services both formal and informal)
- Describe the landscape of access (i.e. the type of products and services used by financially included individuals)
- Identify the drivers of, and barriers to financial access
- Assess trends/changes over time (from 2012)
- Stimulate evidence-based dialogue that will ultimately lead to effective public and private sector interventions that will increase
and deepen financial inclusion
- Provide information on new opportunities for increased financial inclusion
