Cenfri is an independent think-tank that conducts applied research to improve how societies in developing countries benefit from the financial sector.
We are driven by a vision of a world where all people live their financial lives optimally to enhance the welfare and grow the economy.
Our core focus is on generating insights that can inform policymakers, market players and donors that seek to unlock development outcomes through inclusive financial services and the financial sector more broadly. In collaboration with key partners and funders, we actively engage across Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

Cenfri is looking for an intern who can assist with conducting research to understand the legal system in general and financial-sector regulation, in particular, in Ghana and Nigeria.
