SUMMARY:Mobile Money for Financial Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nhttps://agylianetwork.sozowebdesign.co.uk/app/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/Mobile-Money-for-Financial-Inclusion-720p.mp4\n\nOverview \nMobile money services have become a key enabler for financial inclusion\, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This has resulted in the growth and increased adoption of mobile money services\, with the result that they now support 2.1 billion users in carrying out regular transactions. Despite the benefits of mobile money services\, there are still areas that can be improved to increase their impact\, especially in the area of policy and regulation. This course aims to support policymakers and regulators in understanding the contribution mobile money services make to financial inclusion in line with the OECD High-Level Financial Inclusion Principles\, provide insights into current mobile money adoption trends\, and identify appropriate regulatory frameworks that can be used to support licensing and oversight of mobile money services. \nCourse Objectives  \n\nHighlight how mobile technology can enable increased access to financial services and boost financial inclusion.\nProvide regulators with a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and challenges of mobile money services.\nHelp course participants develop strategies to effectively promote and regulate mobile money services in their respective countries.\nHighlight the essential principles and regulatory frameworks needed to create an enabling environment for mobile money.\nEducate course participants about the potential risks and challenges associated with mobile money and ways to mitigate them\, to ensure the safety and security of users’ funds.\n\nCourse Enrolment Criteria \nThis course is open to: \n\nRegulators\nPolicymakers\nRepresentatives from academia and international organisations working on regulatory or policy issues\n\nWe cannot accept applications from individuals working in the private sector or those not involved in policy or regulation. \nCourse Completion Certificates \nAll our courses are certified by the United Kingdom Telecoms Academy (UKTA) and accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). \n \n  \nThis course equates to 10 hours of CPD training. \n  \n  \nTo qualify for a course completion certificate\, you must view all the course sessions and answer correctly all the quiz questions you will find as you progress through the sessions. You will also need to fill out the course survey. \nYou do not have to complete a final project to earn a course completion certificate but we strongly encourage you to create one. Putting together a final project will give you an opportunity to reflect on the principles covered during the course and help you discover how they could be applied to your own country. If you submit a final project the course trainer will provide you with valuable feedback that you may find useful in your day-to-day work. \nIf you have any special needs regarding this training course\, please us let us know via our contact form so we can get in touch to discuss how your needs can be met.

SUMMARY:The Role of Mobile in Humanitarian Action
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe need for humanitarian assistance is on the rise. A recent report from the UN OCHA estimates that 235 million people worldwide currently require assistance and protection. \nNew partnership models and innovative tools and approaches are crucial to address this growing humanitarian challenge. As a result\, mobile technology is now critical to the success of disaster response efforts and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Policymakers and regulators need to better understand how they can support these efforts through effective policies. \nThis three-week course looks at the role of policymakers and mobile operators in disaster response management and the effect they can have on the acceleration of aid delivery during and after a humanitarian crisis. \nCourse Objectives  \n\nLearn how improved coordination between mobile operators\, governments\, regulatory authorities and the humanitarian community can mitigate risks during times of crisis.\nDiscover how regulators around the world are adopting flexible approaches to policy during emergencies to positively impact response efforts.\nUnderstand and explore how mobile platforms can digitise humanitarian aid delivery channels.\n\nCourse Enrolment Criteria \nThis course is open to: \n\nRegulators\nPolicymakers\nRepresentatives from academia and international organisations working on regulatory or policy issues\n\nWe cannot accept applications from individuals working in the private sector or those not involved in policy or regulation. \nCourse Completion Certificates \nAll our courses are certified by the United Kingdom Telecoms Academy (UKTA) and accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). \n \n  \nThis course equates to 10 hours of CPD training. \n  \n  \nTo qualify for a course completion certificate\, you must view all the course sessions and answer correctly all the quiz questions you will find as you progress through the sessions.
