INTEGRATING FORCIBLY DISPLACED PERSONS (FDPs) INTO NATIONAL FINANCIAL INCLUSION STRATEGIES (NFIS)
This was complemented by facilitating access to SIM cards and phones. Research shows that in some contexts, women are less likely to own and/or use a mobile phone so there is an opportunity for providers to undertake sensitization with male community members so that forcibly displaced women are able to use mobile phones to access formal financial services. International humanitarian stakeholders include UN agencies. There is potential to embed financial inclusion into the growing cash and voucher assistance programs as well as wider programming on forced displacement,45 and vice-versa, to bridge the work of humanitarian and development actors, and financial inclusion stakeholders.46
