1 Mul$ Sector Geospa$al Mapping Project Data point collec,on - Methodology

2 Project Summary Scope: Brandworx was tasked with conduc,ng a second round of geospa,al mapping of data points in Zambia. Only certain categories were selected to be re- and an addi,onal category was added, namely the Religious Sector visited Project Dura$on: 1 st March 19 th May 2017 Number of Staff: 1 x Project Manager 3 x Supervisors 30 x Enumerators

3 Methodology Equipment: Enumerators were equipped with a Handheld device Samsung JV1 Ace (Smart phone) Technology: The Brandworx applica,on was loaded on the device The Brandworx applica$on allowed the following: Captured informa,on to be submixed in Real Time GPS accuracy of <15 meters in Rural areas and <10 meters in Urban areas Outlets to be captured in areas with no network coverage

4 Recruitment and Training Recruitment was done during the month of February 2017 Enumerators were made up of staff that had been involved in the 1 st round of data capturing as well as staff with previous fieldwork experience. Over 50% were female enumerators All Enumerators employed resided in the areas where they conducted their interviews to ensure they understood the areas geographically as well as culturally Training was held at Mika Hotel over 5 days. The training was centralised, ensuring quality through one message. Training sessions were both oral and prac,cal with the poten,al enumerators required to pass a competency test before being employed

5 Fieldwork Approach A designed ques$onnaire was used to capture opera$onal and GIS Data. The ques$onnaire was specific to each Sector service intermediary The profile was to interview all open and opera$onal touch-points at that point in $me In addi$on closed outlet s GIS informa$on was also captured for comparison with the 1 st round of data collec$on Enumerators systema$cally covered geographic areas on a na$onal basis

6 Penetra$on tes$ng / Quality checks Enumerators were dispatched to areas which has been completed to ensure maximum penetra,on and to check the quality of work done in the area

7 Summary of Sectors and Categories Financial Sector New and exis,ng Outlets Financial Sector Re-iden,fica,on of Outlets Religious organisa,ons New Outlets Mobile Money Agents SACCOs Savings Group All Religious organisa,ons

8 Defini$ons of Data points Mobile Money Agent A Mobile Money agent loca,on is defined as a permanent or semi-permanent (kiosk) loca,on from where a registered Mobile Money agent conducts transac,ons on a daily basis on behalf of various Mobile Network Operators and Mobile Money Solu,on providers. All these loca,ons are branded and easy to locate and access by the general public. Loca,ons can be exclusive or non-exclusive in terms of the Mobile Money service provider and this exercise was aimed at confirming Mobile Money loca,ons and not the number of unique agents (,lls ) for all the MNO s. Transac,onal ac,vity (ac,ve/dormant) was not considered Outlets found but the owner/staff not available for interview was captured as closed for business.

9 Defini$ons of Data points Savings and Credit Coopera$ves (SACCOs) SACCO s are community-based financial organiza,ons, owned and operated by and for its members. Members can save money with the SACCO or they can buy shares and get annual dividends. They can also borrow money from the SACCO which offers loans to its members with suitable repayment terms. SACCOs have welfare funds to assist their members when they experience financial emergencies. Criteria to iden,fy SACCOs: SACCOs are perpetual spanning over more than a year must have a physical address must be registered with the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry must have proof of registra,on (cer,ficate) with a unique registra,on number must have at least 30 members must have a board of directors must have an annual general mee,ng

10 Defini$ons of Data points Savings Group Savings groups are community based organisa,ons. Members get together with the main purpose to save together and to borrow from their collec,ve savings. Savings groups also have social funds to which members contribute and from which they can get money when they have a financial emergency. How do they differ from SACCOs? Savings groups mostly exist for a year or less before they are closed down Savings group have on average members (mostly female) They meet once or twice a month They pay out the collected savings to their members at least once a year They don t necessarily have a physical address Although members could organise themselves to form a savings group they are ojen established by an agency such as World Vision, CARE, PLAN and CRS in which instance they then receive training from these agencies Only Savings groups that meet in permanent structures were captured

11 Defini$ons of Data points Religious organisa$ons Religious organiza,ons include places of worship such as mosques, churches, temples, synagogues, chapels and other buildings or mee,ng places. Capturing Criteria: Religious organiza,ons are being captured for the first,me and the following criteria will apply to capture such a point. Must be a physical building or permanent structure One or more religious organiza,ons must gather at this point on a regular basis Enumerators covered all areas by walking the streets while also engaging with the community to find out where the Religious Ins,tu,ons mee,ng places are. Where mul,ple Religious organisa,ons meet at one outlet, each Religious organisa,ons was captured.
