Short description
(English)
The prgramme is aiming at digital financial inclusion of low-income accountholders, to engage in the economy and to improve their skills, productivity and marketability in this growing age of digital economies. The programme focuses on remittance streams from migrants to their family-members in their countries of origin, and their financial inclusion, resilience, and empowerment. Digitalised, instead of cash-based services are considered key to improved service delivery and cost reduction. The prgramme works with policy makers and regulators to take away regulatory constraints in the ecosystem and facilitate cross-border money flows, with private sector partners to enhance digital money flows including last-mile access and development of digital remittance and related financial services for migrants and recipients
