The Open Group FACE™ Consortium – https://www.opengroup.org/face

The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment Consortium is a government and industry partnership to define an open avionics environment for all military airborne platform types.

The #ogFACE Approach

The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Approach – https://www.opengroup.org/face/approach is a government-industry developed software standard and business strategy with the goals to:
• Increase the affordability of capabilities
• Improve time-to-field, delivering new capabilities to the war fighter faster

The FACE Approach integrates technical and business practices that establish a standard common operating environment to support portable capabilities across avionics systems.

The FACE Technical Standard – http://ow.ly/s6zW50Hba1Q defines the requirements for architectural segments and key interfaces that link the segments together. This enables the reuse of capability-based software components across different hardware computing environments. The idea is to avoid “reinventing the wheel” for every new platform system. It also enables rapid replacement of older software and insertion with new and improved capabilities throughout the system lifecycle. The FACE Approach is relevant to both enduring systems and future systems, including new system designs, system-level upgrades, and component upgrades.

Where do we go now?
Webinar launch of e-MFP’s Financial Inclusion Compass 2021 publication

A webinar highlighting survey findings on how the financial inclusion sector sees a post-Covid future

The global coronavirus pandemic has upended the financial inclusion sector. The challenges have been immense, and the full scale of the cost – to families, businesses, institutions – is not yet known. To understand the impact on the sector, the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) conducts a yearly survey with a range of stakeholders and shares the findings through its flagship publication, the Financial Inclusion Compass.

This year’s survey looks beyond the impact of the pandemic and focuses on issues related to current trends in the sector and future areas of focus. In addition, a special section offers insights from respondents about the perceived impact of the pandemic, the changing roles of various stakeholders, and opportunities for “building back better”.

The Financial Inclusion Compass 2021 will be published in English, Spanish, and French, and we are pleased to kick off the launch with this English-language webinar led by Sam Mendelson, Financial Inclusion Specialist at e-MFP and lead author of the Compass series, joined by Antonique Koning, Senior Financial Sector Specialist at CGAP, Malkhaz Dzadzua, former CEO of JSC MFO Crystal in Georgia, and Noémie Renier, Head of Debt for Financial Institutions at Incofin Investment Management.
