Their collective expertise and experiences will contribute to a holistic understanding of the challenges and potential solutions for delivering digital financial services to the poor.

By fostering collaborations, knowledge exchange, and evidence-based policymaking, the AERC and STIPRO research dissemination workshop aims to contribute to the achievement of inclusive and sustainable digital financial ecosystems. Together, they strive to empower the underserved and bridge the digital divide, creating pathways for economic growth and prosperity in Africa and beyond.
