What was done in the project?

With support from UNCDF, MobiPay is promoting an innovative Digital Community Entrepreneur (DCE) Model in the Maize and Oil seed value in Uganda. The DCE model is focused on working with women and youth to promote digital financial services and products and clean energy solutions among the last mile population. Also, we seek to use this model not to only improve farmers livelihood, but also allow youth to attain entrepreneurial skills and financial sustainability.

  • Selling of clean renewable energy (Solar) to the farmers
  • Sensitizing farmers on the use of digital financial services like mobile money, Agency banking and how to use a phone the right way
  • Providing youth jobs as DCEs
