An integral part of the World Bank, the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) is a global partnership of 34 organizations that seeks to advance financial inclusion. Visit the Customer-Centric Guide frequently as CGAP continues to add new toolkits and other resources for your journey to customer centricity. As you engage with the site, we’d love to hear your feedback and questions.

CGAP created the Customer-Centric Guide to help resolve financial inclusion challenges – like the one faced by a provider in Ghana.
Although more than million customers registered with the Tigo Cash mobile money service, only a fraction ever activated their accounts. Using some of the same tools found in this Guide, Tigo repositioned the service so customers felt more comfortable using it – and more secure in transferring their hard-earned funds. It's now going strong in 27+ communities.
