| dc.description.abstract | This systematic review of reviews aimed to explore the impact of mobile money on household livelihood outcomes in Africa. This systematic review of reviews determines and summarizes mobile money research trends, and methodologies and conceptual frameworks used in mobile money research discuss the findings and evidence and then suggest approaches for further research. The study reviewed existing systematic reviews published on mobile money and household livelihood outcomes in African between January 2015 and December 2024. The review of reviews shows that a growing number of mobile money research works have used qualitative research approaches for data collection and analysis. The study noted several attempts to develop and apply models/frameworks over explanatory and predictive theories, most notably in the area of social, sociotechnical, and technical. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the long‐term contribution of mobile money use on livelihoods, patterns of economic inequality, human freedom, and well‐being in African countries. This review of reviews synthesizes existing systematic reviews on the contribution of mobile money for household livelihood outcomes than was previously available for African countries. This review has the potential for several stakeholders, including the public and private sector, intermediaries, and nonprofit organizations, to utilize the accumulated evidence from selected systematic reviews to enable/improve the appropriate and sustainable use of mobile money for improving household livelihood outcomes. | |
