Objective of the programme:
DAI is preparing for an anticipated programme that will contribute towards sustainable improvements in the livelihoods of the rural poor through increased digital financial inclusion. Digital financial inclusion encompasses all forms of electronic payments, but given the landscape in Uganda, the focus is particularly on using mobile phones as a mechanism for financial transactions and services. Working with public and private stakeholders including BoU, MoF, local telecoms, banks, and MFIs, the programme will coordinate, concentrate, and amplify the efforts of organizations working in financial inclusion in Uganda.
The program will facilitate improvements in the digital financial service ecosystem; supporting the development of payments platforms and services that will lead to a wider range of financial services and delivery mechanisms benefitting poor households and micro, small and medium enterprises in Uganda.
