Expressions of interest : A Geographic Information System consultant to facilitate the continuous update of Financial Access Points (FAPs) on the online geospatial platform at the Bank of Sierra Leone (BSL).
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the mapping exercise was to:
To map out current and potential access points;
To overlay access points with population, economic activity, financial behaviors,
telephone networks, postal offices, and other parameters;
To identify underserved areas and areas ready for financial service expansion and
optimum/maximized opportunities;
Provide information that will help assess the strategic placement of current and
potential financial products and access channels and, potentially build a business case for reforms and the expansion of products and services in new areas.
At the end of the study, more than one thousand eight hundred (1800) financial access points were mapped. In addition to the final report, the following products of the mapping exercise were provided for wider dissemination through the BSL website:
Data in Microsoft Excel format of the different categories of access points,
Static maps depicting the spatial distribution of all access points,
Interactive dashboard of access points visualized at both district and chiefdom levels, and
An Interactive (GIS) WebGIS platform of financial access points.
The GIS platform is hosted on the cloud-based ArcGIS Online Platform and the Bank has been paying annual subscription. The geospatial mapping of financial access point is critical because it provide the bases for financial expansion. However, the data on the Geospatial Study are currently outdated and needed to be updated by the financial institutions on a continuous basis.
