About this webinar:
Digital innovation in rural financial services has the potential to be a game changer for achieving sustainable agriculture and global growth. Smallholder farmers and small enterprises in developing countries often lack the required investment capital and access to financial services, as well as the digital and financial literacy necessary for success.
Drawing from first-hand experience, the diverse speaker panel at this webinar–part of an ongoing series around ICT4D–explores how to design the digital financial innovation with the User in mind, why going beyond technologies is crucial, and how to combine new innovations with actionable information.
Discussion topics include, but are not limited to:
Overview: Digital trends and innovations for financial inclusion of smallholder farmers and the rural poor (new actors, new tech: machine learning, satellite data, etc.)
Digital/ Economic identity to assess creditworthiness of farmers
The challenge of scale affecting many innovative tools and technologies. How can public and private organizations address this and reach those currently excluded?
E-Learning and capacity building for farmers: Different types of digital technologies for building farm skills, financial and technical literacy
How to improve cross sector partnerships and data sharing for more success in ICT4ag?
