ADVANCING THE FINANCIAL INCLUSION OF FORCIBLY DISPLACED PERSONS: RWANDA, MAURITANIA AND AFGHANISTAN
The displacement response increasingly involves cash transfer programming, including disbursing funds through mobile money networks directly to beneficiaries including women in both urban and rural areas. Coordination mechanisms such as Ministerial and INGO/NGO links, the UN cluster system and the Cash Voucher Working Group (outlined in the stakeholder map in Figure 6) can be sensitized to the recently launched NFIS. Likewise, financial inclusion actors involved in NFIS implementation mechanisms have the opportunity to learn more about the potential for enhancing financial inclusion through displacement response avenues. This marriage between the two agendas will find synergies between both interlinked areas.
