With the help of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and support from the Clifford Chance Foundation, FINCA has taken steps to revamp our IT infrastructure to enable more powerful data analysis. Next, we want to turn this outwards to create an open-source platform that will accelerate innovation for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FINCA has expanded our support to include innovative solutions that empower people to achieve their full human and economic potential, such as text-based tutoring for school children, more profitable farming practices, and clean solar energy for homes and businesses. Across this growing range of interventions, data technology will create new opportunities to measure and strengthen our impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology eliminates the distance between FINCA and the people we serve, unleashing the power of data to break the cycle of poverty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IndustryOutlook_FINCA-DiggingData.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the case study &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-issuu wp-block-embed-issuu\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div data-url=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/fincainternational23\/docs\/industryoutlook_finca_diggingdata\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 324px;\" class=\"issuuembed\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/e.issuu.com\/embed.js\" async=\"true\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology eliminates the distance between FINCA and the people we serve, unleashing the power of data to break the cycle of poverty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":383,"featured_media":56854,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[386,401],"tags":[399,393,400],"class_list":["post-49641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en-gb","category-insights-en-gb","tag-financial-inclusion-en-gb","tag-microfinance-en-gb","tag-research-en-gb"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Digging Into Data to Help People Out of Poverty | FINCA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Technology eliminates the distance between FINCA and our clients, which unleashes the power of data to break the cycle of poverty.
