🪙 #Stablecoins can make cross-border transfers faster & more transparent for some markets. However, cost savings are not guaranteed & direct-to-wallet models still face barriers such as connectivity access, cash-out infrastructure & consumer protection. https://t.co/Bv46K6vDbq

#Digitalpayments & #mobilemoney can help African governments boost tax collection & formalize economies, but only if data is protected. Clear safeguards, transparency, taxpayer participation, & human oversight are essential to build trust & prevent misuse. https://t.co/aJOsQ5dZO5

🇬🇭In Ghana’s oil palm sector, many smallholder farmers lack access to savings, credit & insurance. @TCDAGhana, @opda_gh, @UNDPGhana & @BetterThan_Cash advance #digitalpayments to boost #financialinclusion, strengthen resilience & support sustainable growth https://t.co/vTdmE6NtXg

[Better Than Cash Alliance @BetterThan_Cash]

🇬🇭 What if rural #Ghana farmers enjoyed the same benefits of digital payments as people in #Accra?

A vision shared at a workshop on Ghana’s oil palm sector.

📲 Time to scale digital payments and help farmers & communities access savings, credit and new financial opportunities!

Digital wages are only half the story!

Encouraging results, and just the beginning!

How can digital finance work better for #WomenEntrepreneurs in rural areas?

A Jordan Valley pilot led by @UNDPJordan, with our support, engaged 266 people—83% women.

Yesterday, we brought women’s experiences together with regulators & more partners to turn lessons into action.

[UNDP Jordan 🇯🇴 @UNDPJordan]

Access to digital financial and banking services is only the starting point.
Meaningful inclusion depends on whether women can use these services safely, confidently and regularly to support their businesses and economic activities.
@UNDPJordan and the @UNDP -hosted @BetterThan_Cash , in collaboration with UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Arab States, convened the regional learning exchange, “From Pilot to Policy:
Lessons from Jordan for Advancing Women-Centred Digital Financial Inclusion Across the Arab States”.
The exchange brought together policymakers, regulators, financial service providers, women entrepreneurs, development partners and practitioners.

Drawing on the SDG Digital Finance Ecosystem Assessment, the Jordan Valley pilot and perspectives from across the region, discussions focused on the practical policy, product, infrastructure and financial capability measures needed to close the gap between access, initial adoption and sustained use in Jordan, while drawing lessons that can inform women-centred approaches across the Arab States.
