Policy tools and resources
Explore practical resources for digital financial services policymaking.
Empowering stakeholders for effective policy change
As economies increasingly rely on technology-driven financial systems, ensuring transparent, well-informed, and inclusive policymaking becomes essential. The UNCDF Policy Accelerator tools and resources provide a platform for stakeholders, from governments and regulatory bodies to industry partners and consumer advocates, to collaborate and engage in informed discussions.
These resources facilitate the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and lessons learned, fostering the development of effective and adaptable policies that can navigate the ever-evolving landscape of digital finance.
By promoting open dialogue and knowledge-sharing, these resources not only enhance regulatory clarity but also empower organisations to navigate digital financial services with confidence, ultimately driving innovation, financial inclusion, and sustainable economic growth.

The role of consumer protection in the digital economy
Consumer protection policy defends consumers and seeks to reduce the information asymmetries between providers and consumers that impede informed choices.
