Description
Mobile money services have become a key enabler for financial inclusion, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This has resulted in the growth and increased adoption of mobile money services, with the result that they now support 1.6 billion users in carrying out regular transactions. Despite the benefits of mobile money services, there are still areas that can be improved to increase their impact, especially in the area of policy and regulation. This course aims to support policymakers and regulators in understanding the contribution mobile money services make to financial inclusion in line with the OECD High-Level Financial Inclusion Principles, provide insights into current mobile money adoption trends, and identify appropriate regulatory frameworks that can be used to support licensing and oversight of mobile money services.
This course is designed for ICT policymakers and regulators, and may also be helpful to other important stakeholders, including Finance Ministries; and relevant international organisations and NGOs interested in the topic.
