The project was developed by the International Advisory Services team at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management for the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. I was part of their team and responsible for coordinating, designing and implementing a survey aimed at: 

(i) understanding the barriers to financial services faced by migrants and refugees in      Brazil 

(ii) identifying key necessities and aspirations of different migrant segments in terms of financial products. 

We reached over 1000 survey responses with close collaboration from the UNHCR and the local network of partner organizations. Using a cluster analysis I identified 10 different profiles of migrants and refugees that are underserved by financial institutions in Brazil.
