Viewpoint: Who Really Uses Her Mobile Money Account?

By Raphael Amponsah

In rural Ghana, a woman’s economic life begins long before the sun reaches the market square. She processes gari (a staple food made from fermented, dried cassava) for sale, trades dried fish at the roadside, and manages the household ledger that no one writes down but everyone depends on. Her hard work sustains the local economy and her community.
