Global payments technology company, Visa and PEMANDU Associates, a global government advisory firm, have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at helping governments improve efficiency, enhance citizen services, and expand financial inclusion.
The collaboration will support governments in adopting digital payments, digital identity, and emerging technologies. By combining innovative implementation methodologies with sustainable financing, the partnership will enable governments to deliver faster and more impactful reforms in public sector efficiency and service delivery.
Both organisations share a commitment to advancing government-led digitisation initiatives, guided by PEMANDU’s Big Fast Results (BFR) methodology. This proven approach has supported reforms in more than 30 countries worldwide, including 14 across Africa.
Through the partnership, Visa and its technology partners will provide expertise in digital payments, data management, digital identity, and capacity building. These solutions will help governments streamline processes, improve revenue collection and disbursement, and strengthen efficiency while expanding access to essential services for citizens.
Andrew Uaboi, Vice President & Head, Visa West Africa, said: “At Visa, we believe digital payments and emerging technologies are powerful enablers of inclusive growth. This partnership with PEMANDU strengthens our commitment to working alongside governments in West Africa and across the continent to accelerate digitisation, drive efficiency, and expand access to essential services. Together, we can help build stronger, more inclusive economies that deliver better outcomes for citizens.”
Ms. Aida Azmi, Joint Managing Director and Partner at PEMANDU Associates, added: “We look forward to working closely with Visa Government Solutions CEMEA to complement our partnerships with governments on their digitisation priorities, mobilising resources, and accessing Visa’s technology to deliver greater results for their people.”
