Advancing Financial Services and the RDVP

Financial services are fundamental to community development as they enable individuals to build assets, manage risks, and increase earnings. The Digital Vision initiatives in this area harness the power of ICTs to improve the reach, scope and effectiveness of these critical services in underserved markets.

RDVP Fellows employ a needs-based approach to conceptualizing innovations in:

• Microfinance,
• Microinsurance,
• Remittances,
• Market information and
• E-commerce.
