OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bridge Contracts for Mobile Money in Kenya
This book analyzes the “bridge contracts” and laws which Kenya used to build a network of 180,000 mobile money agents in Kenya. The firm uses these agents (comprising corner stores and other retail outlets) to provide the mobile money mobile money service to 30 million people in Kenya. The book uses insights from this study to critique existing law and development programs run by the United Nations, World Bank, and other organizations. The book draws on fieldwork in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and other countries in Africa, and work with the United Nations, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund.
