Coffey International hired JC&A to undertake an impact assessment – and in particular quantifying the economic benefit – of the policy change of the Central Bank of Nigeria increasing the limits on the value transactions Nigerians could use through their mobile phones. Given the high impact of mobile technology uptake on developing countries’ finance, telecommunications, and development sectors and all their stakeholders, this was a significant project. Aside from Kenya and Zambia, most developing countries have restrictive transaction limits on mobile money, thus limiting its suitability for business payments. This contract was part of the multi-year project “Growth and Employment in States – Wholesale and Retail Sector (GEMS4)” implemented by Coffey International in 2012
Nigeria, DfID under contract to Coffey International, 2016.
