Digital

Digital technologies are transforming development. They enable people to communicate, access vital market and health information, and use mobile banking to engage more fully in the economy.

While access is expanding globally, many communities in developing countries remain underserved. Still, rapid growth in mobile and broadband use is creating new opportunities for inclusion and economic participation.

IFC helps governments partner with the private sector to develop sustainable, bankable telecom and broadband projects through expertly structured public-private partnerships (PPPs) that help extend access, lower service costs, and bring the benefits of connectivity to more people, especially in remote and underserved areas.
