Understanding the mobile disability gap in emerging markets
The document discusses accessibility and inclusive design in emerging markets. It finds that while persons with disabilities value mobile phones for communication, a "mobile disability gap" exists where they are less likely to own or access mobile technologies compared to persons without disabilities. Existing digital solutions are often not suitable or accessible for many persons with disabilities in emerging economies. The document calls for digital products and services to be designed inclusively for all.

Smart cities aim to create sustainable economic development and high quality of life through the collection and analysis of large amounts of data from sensors across various city systems. Key areas of focus for smart cities include energy, transportation, living, and governance. Characteristics of smart cities include smart energy, homes, mobility, businesses, and communication. India's smart city program selects existing cities to retrofit with smart technologies and infrastructure or new "greenfield" cities to develop from scratch using smart solutions. Proposed smart city applications include cashless transactions, smart farming, smart street lights, and smart bicycles. However, some criticize potential biases in development and concerns around increased surveillance from extensive data collection.

Civic Tech in Nigeria: What works? (Oluwaseun Akinfolarin - Civic Media Lab)
The document discusses the low adoption of civic technology apps in Nigeria, which generate few reports despite issues around the country. Low adoption may be due to factors like limited smartphone access, high barriers to internet use, citizen apathy, knowledge gaps, and apps not fitting natural use. To increase adoption, the document recommends taking a pull approach by better assessing community needs, facilitating community development, and building civic tech infrastructure, rather than just pushing app solutions.

This document discusses how digital tools can enable smallholder farmer finance. It begins by noting that while financial service providers have traditionally overlooked smallholder farmers in Africa due to challenges in reaching them, digital technologies are now making it possible to provide credit to them. Digitalization is happening across the lending value chain, including for customer relationship management, registration, loan analysis, disbursement and repayment, and support service delivery. The document then surveys financial service providers in Africa that have started digital journeys and maps them to four digitalization profiles. It finds that loan analysis is often the starting point for digitalization while support service delivery remains a frontier. The document also discusses challenges to digital adoption like high upfront costs and lack of capabilities,

The document analyzes banking in India, comparing branch and digital banking. It finds that while branch banking offers personal connections, digital banking provides convenience and accessibility. A survey showed students prefer digital banking, while older people prefer branches. The document proposes a long-term roadmap to promote digital banking segment-wise, especially in rural areas, to increase inclusion while addressing issues like security, access, and lack of knowledge.
New Trends in USAID Procurement: The Transition Towards e-Payments
In 2012, USAID announced its commitment to actively encourage the evaluation and use of electronic payments (e-payments) in development programs, including its own, as a member of The Better than Cash Alliance. USAID also has made the use of e-payments a priority in the Agency’s Implementation and Procurement Reform.
In fulfillment of these commitments, USAID actively is encouraging its development partners, contractors, subcontractors, grantees, sub-grantees and private sector alliance partners to consider incorporating e-payment systems into program design and implementation where feasible. Many USAID Missions have begun to request that procurement proposals include a suitability analysis on the use of e-payments for the funded program.

The training provided valuable experience in research, reporting, and analyzing the use of mobile technology in development.
Digitization of Financial Services in Emerging Markets
This document discusses the digitization of financial services in emerging markets. It makes three key points:
1) Digitization of financial services is no longer optional but compulsory for remaining competitive and reaching underserved customers. Digital services provide convenience, safety, speed and a transaction history for the unbanked.
2) There are different approaches to digitization, including partnering with mobile network operators, technical service providers, fintechs, or a combination. Not all organizations are ready to digitize at the same pace.
3) While emerging markets face challenges like low financial access, literacy and digital infrastructure, they have been among the most proactive in adopting digital finance. Payment
Asian Private Banks: How to Embrace Digital Transformation
Asian private banks are lagging behind their wealthy clients in adopting digital technologies like mobile and social media for wealth management. To effectively serve clients in the digital age, banks need to create a holistic digital strategy, manage organizational change, and deploy digital technologies to empower customer targeting, enhance the customer experience, and improve operational efficiencies. This will allow banks to deliver meaningful, high-value advice to clients through a balanced approach of technology-enabled and high-touch personal services.

Digital Financial Services for the Under-Banked
The document discusses digital financial services (DFS) for underserved populations. It provides an overview of various DFS models including bank-led models where banks partner with non-banks to expand reach, and non-bank led models where mobile network operators (MNOs) provide financial services. The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of different technology options for DFS like SMS banking, mobile banking, POS devices, and voice IVR. It also discusses factors that affect the uptake of DFS like the presence of alternate financial channels, demographic characteristics, and socio-economic conditions of the target population.
The Global Landscape of Digital Finance Innovations
More than half of the world’s adult population, nearly 2.5 billion people, remain unbanked. Technology – particularly the mobile phone – has been used in recent years to extend financial services past the limits of bank branches and reach new consumers in traditionally underserved segments. Initial efforts focused on payments but have now grown to include savings, insurance and credit products delivered by digital channels, known as “products beyond payments.” Despite a dramatic expansion in the number of digital financial service deployments, the offering of these financial services are not new services. Rather, they are existing services migrated to a lower-cost digital channel, therefore offering greater scale potential. And even then, use of these channels currently remain low.
This research seeks to accomplish four objectives:
Catalog the ways in which technology, especially mobile, can enhance access or use of financial services
Provide a comprehensive landscape of the latest innovations in digital finance
Consider the current and potential impact of these innovations on financial inclusion
Identify enabling conditions and investments needed to unlock the potential of the sector

1) Mobile phone financial services have significant potential to expand access to financial services due to high mobile phone penetration rates, especially in developing countries. Over half of the 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions globally are in developing nations.
2) Mobile phones can be used to deliver a range of banking services like money transfers, bill payments, and savings accounts at a lower cost than traditional brick-and-mortar branches. This can help close the gap between unbanked individuals with mobile phone access and formal financial services.
3) Countries have explored different models for mobile banking regulation. Approaches range from MNO-based models where the mobile network operator provides services, bank-based models where banks partner with MNOs,

Why You Should #BeBoldForChange For Women
Opportunity International was founded with a vision that everyone would have the chance to live a life free from poverty, with dignity and purpose. Everyone. This ambitious goal requires dedicated attention to one of the most marginalized groups in the developing world—women. It is our collective responsibility to address the inequalities that currently prevent women from triggering positive generational changes and contributing billions of dollars to their economies. We believe that increasing opportunities for women is our essential response to this global challenge—and one that creates health, security and prosperity for families and society as a whole.

PUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PFMS) and DBT - EXPLANATION
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
