Working Together Towards Financial Inclusion for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in South Sudan

Access to financial services in South Sudan is getting better. Historically, banking has been limited by continuous conflict, the lack of security, and the fact that South Sudan's cash-based economy only uses demand deposits in urban areas. Poor availability of formal financial services in South Sudan's remote and rural locations, such as Rubkona in Unity State, has hindered the delivery of services to communities by humanitarian relief agencies.
