| description | The project Assessment of Potential Opportunities for Use of Digital Payments for Smallholder Farmers in Resource-Constrained Settings began in 2018 through a partnership with USAID’s Feed the Future Program (D2FTF). The objective of this research is to better understand the role that digital services can play in the financial inclusion of smallholder farmers in Senegal.
This research will focus on answering the following questions:
1) how digital services can address the unmet financial needs of smallholder farmers;
2) the conditions under which smallholder farmers adopt digital financial services (DFS) to address these unmet needs; and
3) the characteristics that predict, incentivize, or are barriers to adoption of DFS by smallholder
farmers.
With the goal of producing actionable information and recommendations for implementers to improve the way smallholder farmers interact with agriculture value chains. |
