Authored by @okidigo and @jlutwama, this policy paper wp.me/pfb0jV-19H studies 3 blended finance funds (MSE Recovery Fund, ACF & SBRF) and shows they can boost access to finance—but sustainability is a challenge. To drive long-term impact, we need blended finance + technical support to tackle both market and structural barriers. #FinancialInclusion

USSD has been key in Uganda’s financial sector, but it's time for smarter solutions. Mobile apps, NFC, IVR, and AI are shaping the future of finance, but high data costs and digital literacy remain challenges. Collaboration is key to unlocking financial inclusion.
