  We explore the MRI driven dynamo in a radiatively inefficient accretion flow
(RIAF) using the mean field dynamo paradigm. Using singular value decomposition
(SVD) we obtain the least squares fitting dynamo coefficients $\alpha$ and
$\gamma$ by comparing the time series of the turbulent electromotive force and
the mean magnetic field. Our study is the first one to show the poloidal
distribution of these dynamo coefficients in global accretion flow simulations.
Surprisingly, we obtain a high value of the turbulent pumping coefficient
$\gamma$ which transports the mean magnetic flux radially outward. This would
have implications for the launching of magnetised jets which are produced
efficiently in presence a large-scale poloidal magnetic field close to the
compact object. We present a scenario of a truncated disc beyond the RIAF where
a large scale dynamo-generated poloidal magnetic field can aid jet-launching
close to the black hole. Magnitude of all the calculated coefficients decreases
with radius. Meridional variations of $\alpha_{\phi \phi}$, responsible for
toroidal to poloidal field conversion, is very similar to that found in
shearing box simulations using the `test field' (TF) method. By estimating the
relative importance of $\alpha$-effect and shear, we conclude that the MRI
driven large-scale dynamo, which operates at high latitudes beyond a disc scale
height, is essentially of the $\alpha-\Omega$ type.
