To a national scale, Target SARL succeeded in the collection of relevant information related to the way that people are generating their incomes and are financially managing their lives. FinScope thus reached its objective of revealing consumers perception and better understanding attitudes and expectations as regards financial products and services. A very important research in an environment whereas more and more commercial banks and financial services are especially using technologies of information and communication.

Further Target SARL, the AfricaScope agency has been involved in FinScope research especially in data sampling and weighting as well as writing of final report. Both agencies have been technically supported by FinMark Trust. FinScope is an initiative of FinMark Trust in partnership with UNCDF, the Ministry of Finances and the Central Bank of Congo (BCC).
