YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In just two weeks, one of the world's poorest countries figured out how to pay millions of people through an all-digital payment system that requires zero internet connection. Now, Novissi is working with nonprofit GiveDirectly to fight poverty in crisis situations and is the first-ever innovation nominee from Africa at 2022 SXSW. Bloomberg Quicktake's Jennifer Zabasajja spoke to the brainchild of the program, Cina Lawson, about how her team at the Ministry of Digital Economy and Digital Transformation made it all happen.
