Enhancing the digital payment ecosystem

The document outlines a collaboration between the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Strategic Impact Advisors (SIA), supported by FSD Africa, to assess digital connectivity and financial service provider mapping in Sudan. The project aims to identify barriers and opportunities for providing digital financial products to hard-to-reach displaced communities in West Darfur and White Nile, leading to a pilot project for digital payments.

• Strategic Impact Advisors (SIA) conducted a review of the GSMA Connectivity Needs and Usage Assessment (CoNUA) for the White Nile and West Darfur regions, alongside financial service provider mapping and revenue potential analysis.
• The project's objectives include increasing stakeholder awareness of Sudan's digital landscape, fostering strategic partnerships between humanitarian and private sector actors, and testing a digital payment pilot for displaced populations.
• As of October 2022, the project has completed the analysis and stakeholder presentations, with a draft report on provider mapping and revenue analysis in the final stages and a pilot project proposal under review.
