To get a better understanding of how these families manage their finances, CGAP is conducting financial diaries research with 90 families in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Pakistan. In The interviews capture information about cash flows in minute detail. "But it's not just about the cash flows," says Kristy Bohling, of Bankable Frontier Associates. "It's about life."
