🚀 Kicking off our new seminar series!

For our inaugural session, we will welcome Associate Professor Jonathan Greenacre, who’ll discuss how hashtag#Kenya built a network of 180,000 agents to provide mobile money services to 30 million people.
Associate Professor Greenacre brings extensive experience advising the UN, World Bank, and IMF on financial inclusion and consumer protection. His research on “bridge contracts” reveals the legal and regulatory frameworks that enabled Kenya’s mobile money revolution and what this means for financial inclusion across Africa and beyond.
