Our approach
Six principles guide how CAFIA works.
CAFIA supports individuals and MSMEs across Sierra Leone by structuring information, guiding decisions and bridging communication with financial institutions.
- 01
Clear information
Plain language, no marketing pressure.
- 02
User consent
You decide what is shared.
- 03
Source-linked provider data
Every listing shows its source and date.
- 04
Finance readiness guidance
Self-declared steps, no external data pulls.
- 05
Privacy-conscious insights
Aggregated patterns only.
- 06
Human review for sensitive cases
People decide, not automation.
Methodology
A fuller methodology page is on the way.
