Cross-network cash tranfers yet to pick up a year down the line via @thestarkenya
Dear Victor,I would like to share my thoughts on this :
- How can we tackle access and affordability issues, and what improvements need to be made?
A good case study is Mobile Money Interoperability, has it advanced better inclusion?It should be noted that the Central Bank of Kenya laid out principles of Mobile Money Interoperability which include: cost levels, efficiency, and security.Cost: price for the transfer of money across networks would not be higher than those of transferring money within the network, and no interchange fees will be applied.Efficiency: the mobile money operators were tasked to ensure that the interfaces between them were as secure as possible to avoid any losses for both customers and the networks.Security: no undue delay would occur when transferring money across networks.This is commendable as payments worldwide lean towards more open systems and Kenya has been embracing it. Therefore, It would be time to take stock on how the one year journey has shaped mobile money transfers since the introduction of interoperability, to determine the value addition and what could be done differently.On Tue, 30 Jul 2019 at 11:33, Victor Kapiyo via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:_______________________________________________Good morning listers,As we approach this year's Kenya Internet Governance Forum on 1 August 2019, we would like to continue today's discussion in line with the theme One Kenya. One Net. One Vision.Today's sub-theme is Digital Inclusion. Digital Inclusion is about both identifying those with less or no access to the Internet (e.g. underserved communities, marginalized groups, the minorities, people with disabilities or people lacking digital literacy) and it is about activities related to the achievement of an inclusive information society.
We would appreciate your thoughts on the following:
- How can we tackle access and affordability issues, and what improvements need to be made?
- How can we better utilize primary and secondary schools and tertiary institutions to promote and to deliver on digital literacy programmes?
- How do we ensure that Internet governance processes are truly inclusive?
- What needs to be done to enhance the capacity of different actors?
- How do we ensure that these skills and employment opportunities are equitable to all on an equal footing?
We look forward to hearing from you.
