AfricaNenda Foundation works with countries across Africa to build instant payment systems that are inclusive by design. Our focus is simple: help make digital payments work for everyone, especially people who have long been excluded from the financial system.
AfricaNenda supports the design, development, and scale up of inclusive instant payment systems (IIPS) in Africa across Africa through technical advisory, capacity building, and advocacy.
Helping to build capacity in the market by providing seconded technical experts and ad hoc technical assistance to support pan-African institutions in scaling digital payments initiatives.
Building actionable and evidence-based tools, playbooks and trainings on instant and inclusive payment systems, in order to reduce the cost and complexity of project initiation and design.
Convening stakeholders across the African payments ecosystem to share experiences and best practices, and to accelerate the agenda for universal financial access across the continent.
The State of Inclusive Instant Payment Systems in Africa (SIIPS) Report showcases how instant payments are transforming lives and businesses across Africa, with powerful data, consumer stories, and country spotlights. Launched in 2022 and produced annually with the World Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), it has quickly become a go-to reference on inclusive digital payments on the continent. Each edition highlights the landscape of inclusive instant payment systems, what still holds people back, and the opportunities to unlock broader financial inclusion.
