*PRESS RELEASE*

*New United Nations study finds digital payments to Ebola response workers
saved lives and $10 million*

*By using digital payments to pay Ebola response workers, Sierra Leone
massively cut payment times, avoiding large-scale strikes and ensuring a
stable workforce to defeat Ebola. Sierra Leone’s experience shows the
critical importance of preparing early for digital payments before crises
hit.*

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone, May 18, 2016/ -- Mobile phones serving as digital
“wallets” for payments to response workers proved an invaluable tool in
Sierra Leone’s response to the Ebola crisis, according to a new study from
the United Nations-based Better Than Cash Alliance

).

With economic instability, natural disasters and political conflict now
taking place at unprecedented rates, the new research offers valuable
lessons on how to harness the power of technology to help emergency workers
reach more people by paying them digitally during crises. The country has
been Ebola free since January.

The report comes just ahead of the first ever United Nations World
Humanitarian summit set to begin next week.

The study shows digital payments delivered compelling results in Sierra
Leone, including:

   - *Cost savings of US $10.7 million* for the government, taxpayers,
   development partners and response workers – the equivalent of funding
   Sierra Leone’s Free Health Care Program catering for 1.4 million children
   and 250,000 pregnant women annually.
   - *Reducing payment times* from over one month on average for cash to
   one week.
   -  Preventing the loss of around *800 working days per month* from the
   Ebola response workforce, helping save lives during this critical time.
   - Saving response workers around *$80,000 per month in travel costs* by
   avoiding lengthy journeys to cash payment centers.

Crucially, Sierra Leone’s experience shows the critical importance of
governments, companies, and international organizations working together to
develop policy frameworks, infrastructure and operating guidelines for
digital payments before crises strike.

*"Sierra Leone's firsthand experience with digital payments and its impact
on Ebola response and control taught us that, Governments like ours must
take this growing payment system seriously as it can significantly
contribute to inclusive growth and transparency,” *said *H.E. Momodu L.
Kargbo, Sierra Leone’s Minister of Finance and Economic Development.*  *“In
developing the partnership with private sector, development organizations,
the Central Bank, financial institutions, network providers; and building
the foundation for an inclusive digital payment system, Government must
take the lead."*

Sierra Leone was one of the hardest-hit countries during the Ebola
outbreak, with more than 14,000 reported cases of the 28,000 total cases

Ebola response workers were spread across Sierra Leone’s 14 districts,
including many health units in rural areas. The speed with which Ebola
spread meant the government needed a more efficient, reliable and secure
tool than cash to manage payments to response workers in a country where
there were fewer than 50 ATMs when the outbreak struck.

Digital payments offered a powerful solution, particularly given Sierra
Leone already had mobile network coverage across nearly 95 percent of the
country, and more than 90 percent of response workers with access to a
mobile phone.

One of the major challenges of cash is that it is expensive, slow,
difficult to transport and vulnerable to theft, graft and payment errors.
Late or incorrect payments to response workers often led to strikes during
past emergencies and at the start of the Ebola crisis before digital
payments were implemented.

In Sierra Leone, digital payments reduced these strikes from an average of
eight per month - causing the loss of about 800 working days per month – to
virtually zero.

*“Ebola response workers put their lives at risk every day. It was vitally
important they received all the money they earned, with no skimming or
theft. They got it immediately, as their families had no other income; and
only legitimate workers got paid - no one else. Paying Ebola response
workers directly into a digital wallet instead of cash met these goals,
saved lives and over $10 million,” *said *Dr. Ruth Goodwin-Groen, Managing
Director of The Better Than Cash Alliance**. “Sierra Leone’s experience
shows the critical importance of developing and implementing national
policy frameworks and supporting infrastructure to drive effective and
flexible digital payments ecosystems in advance of humanitarian crises.”*

The vast majority of the cost savings were due to eliminating payments to
people who were not legitimate Ebola response workers, known as “ghost
workers”.  The money saved was given to those who really needed it.
