Building Climate Resilience Through Capital with Kenya Climate Ventures | Voices & Visions

Beyond Mobile Money: The Infrastructure Behind Kenya's Growth | Voices & Visions

For many people, M-Pesa is known as a mobile money platform. In reality, it has become a critical layer of Kenya's economic infrastructure. In this conversation, Andrew Mutha and Peter Gichangi of Safaricom unpack how M-Pesa evolved from a simple money transfer service into an ecosystem supporting payments, savings, credit, insurance, investments, and cross-border transactions. The discussion goes beyond technology to examine the conditions that made this possible: digital identity systems, regulatory openness, widespread connectivity, and a relentless focus on solving real customer problems.  This is ultimately a conversation about trust, infrastructure, and the systems that enable economies to function.
