The G2Px Initiative, launched in 2020 in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, contributes to the broader agenda of improving government-to-person (G2P) payments through digitization. The objective is to shift the G2P digitization paradigm beyond programme-specific efficiency gains to one that simultaneously accelerates critical development outcomes such as financial inclusion, women’s economic empowerment and government fiscal savings.
Through this initiative, the World Bank seeks to establish a framework, develop best practices and provide upstream technical assistance to significantly improve G2P payments globally. The initiative will help build a global movement ensuring that all G2P programmes aim and design for broader inclusion and empowerment outcomes through a focus on digitization.
