dc.description.abstract | The study on the role of mobile phones for banking and transactions resulted from a six-country study on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) trade and economic growth commissioned by United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) under the Global ePolicy Resource Network (ePol-NET) initiative whose objectives and findings have been presented in the “E-Trade and Economic Growth in Africa, Opportunities and Challenges” report. Mobile banking (m-banking) was flagged in some countries as one of the ways the poor used ICTs in their economic endeavours. Given the explosion of mobile telephony across the continent, this became an important area of study, particularly with respect to interrogating the kind of policy requirements needed to sustain this area of development such that this sector could contribute fully to economic development in Africa. | en |
