While the Internet Silk Road Initiative does not have any applied research projects in the mobile money field, we have done some investigative research into the regulatory aspects of mobile banking and the potential for technology-assisted alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Our desk research on mobile banking in Afghanistan was featured in the United Nations Commission for Trade and Development (UNCTAD)’s Information Economy Report, 2010: ICTs, Enterprises and Poverty Alleviation [click the title to download the report]. In our research on mobile money, we focused on the emerging mobile banking industry in Afghanistan, led by Afghan telecom company, Roshan’s M-Paisa service. Below are links to several other research initiatives (unrelated to ISR) which we have found especially on-point in this field.
