YIKRI provides services to more than 25,000 beneficiaries in Burkina Faso

YIKRI, a social microfinance institution in Burkina Faso, operates in both rural and urban areas, providing financial and non-financial services to more than 25,000 beneficiaries.

After a few months' postponement due to the COVID-19 crisis, 8 YIKRI staff members participated in a "Digital Finance" workshop in Ouagadougou in June 2020. This workshop was facilitated by Catherine Liziard, Senior Project Officer involved in ADA's "Digital Finance Initiative" and seconded to Burkina Faso.

At the end of the workshop, YIKRI defined its digital strategy, and it is ready to integrate it into its business plan, which is currently being updated in the post-COVID19 context.
