Blockchain-based digital currency and tools for cross-border aid disbursement
This white paper explores the applications of digital currencies and blockchain-based tools for cross-border development and humanitarian aid delivery and disbursement. It examines both the promise and challenges posed by blockchain-based digital currencies, as well as blockchain-based tools and platforms, which create infrastructure aimed at improving cross-border humanitarian aid disbursement.
The paper also examines whether these innovations could have a viable long-term net benefit to the way in which aid is disbursed to people in need globally.
