This playbook is designed to assist USAID staff, development practitioners, and donor stakeholders—to brainstorm and develop projects that take a purpose-driven approach to private sector engagement in digital finance that supports countries along their journey to self-reliance.
The playbook noted “With the right enabling environment and ecosystem of market actors, digital finance — or more broadly, “FinTech” — can foster greater efficiency and transparency, resilience, and empowerment across a variety of contexts, whether in agriculture, health, education, energy, or governance. The impact of these gains can be felt by many communities as they progress on their journey to self-reliance: women, youth, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), rural communities, and others.’
