This focus note describes the state of DFS use in humanitarian crises responses, available DFS solutions, and strategies to achieve both humanitarian and financial inclusion goals and common barriers to address for successful deployment.

The purpose of this study is to provide a fresh perspective specifically on the role of regulators who have competition-related competencies over some or all of the components of DFS, for example the financial and telecommunications components.
