About the Framework

Built from the ground up for IPS operators in Africa.

The Spectrum

Three tiers, one clear trajectory.

Every IPS starts somewhere on this spectrum. Your assessment pinpoints your tier and the practices that will move you forward.

01
Baseline
0 – 33%

Gender Neutral

No explicit gender design. This is the baseline — not scored. IPS may gather age and location but does not explore gendered use cases.

02
Intentional
34 – 66%

Gender Intentional

Deliberate design choices that reduce disparities: sex-disaggregated data, simplified KYC, USSD accessibility, and women-focused education.

03
Transformative
67 – 100%

Gender Transformative

Norm-shifting interventions: women-focused fintech support, outcome-based frameworks, and active NFIS / NDPS participation.
