UN Study: Digitization of Kenyan Farmer Payments Helps Tackle Poverty
Tuesday, June 6, 2017
A new case study by the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance shows how agriculture nonprofit organization One Acre Fund in partnership with Citi Inclusive Finance successfully digitized loan repayments for farmers in Kenya.
This move significantly boosted transparency and efficiency, driving economic opportunity and financial inclusion for thousands of smallholder farmers and their families.
One Acre Fund, supported by Citi, enabled farmers to easily make loan repayments via mobile money instead of cash, reducing the uncertainty, inefficiency, insecurity and high costs previously caused by cash transactions.
