Abstract
Kenya is one of the countries in Africa where digital financial access has tremendously grown. Digitalization of the financial sector and the recent increase of Digital Financial Services (DFS) brings new opportunities to help build inclusive economic infrastructure that offers new services to marginalized populations and underserved communities worldwide. DFS can bridge the gender gap by increasing women’s financial autonomy and improving their economic participation.
