Now reading: Our purpose

Our purpose


Our purpose is to empower people to solve problems that matter – to create ideas and solutions that have lasting impact.

Our vision is a world where all people can live their financial and digital lives optimally, thereby unlocking growth, development and welfare in their lives and in economies.

As recognised thought leaders and opinion-shapers on economic inclusion in a digital Africa, we generate and share deep insights, and we empower key stakeholders to apply those insights to catalyse system-level change for long-term development impact. We do this through multi-year programmes, bespoke consulting projects, capacity-building, as well as innovation support for high-impact business models, regulators and the public sector.

Cenfri is an independent, not-for-profit think-tank, based in South Africa. We have a global geographic scope, having worked across 35 countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia since 2008, but we are proudly committed to our Africa roots.
