Tenders are invited for Training on Geospatial Analysis to Inform Financial Inclusion Policies in Colombia
The consultant will be a firm.
Assignment Description
The firm will design and deliver a training program tailored to CGAPs partner, Banca de las Oportunidades (BdO) in Colombia, to develop their capacity in geospatial analysis for policy design. As part of the trainings, the firm is expected to help BdO georeferrence agents with available data online.
Georeferencing banking correspondents or banking agents in Colombia is considered by BdO a key exercise to enable a much more granular measurement of the accessibility of financial services experienced by people living in different parts of the country. Building this quantitative evidence would inform the development of public policies that are more targeted and effective in enabling the use of financial services by the population that remains underserved and excluded, which tend to live in rural areas.
The training program for BdO will be composed of three modules with different objectives: Module 1: enable the BdO team to automate a process that collects agent location data already published online by most of the countrys financial institutions; Module 2: enable the BdO team to connect to APIs used by geospatial databases like Street Maps and Google Maps to reformat the agents physical address data collected into usable spatial coordinates; and Module 3: deliver an introduction to the BdO team to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enable the team after the training to analyze various geospatial data available and derive insights that are useful for financial inclusion policy, illustrated by examples from other countries.
The training should be delivered in Spanish. However, reading decks, papers and programs can be in English, if not available in Spanish.
