In today’s digital economy, governments are increasingly leveraging technology to deliver services with speed, in a sustainable manner and at population scale. Today, over a quarter of adults receive payments from the government. When government-to-person (G2P) payments are digitized, it also offers the opportunity to advance financial inclusion, advance women’s economic empowerment, and promote the development of the digital ecosystem.

The World Bank’s G2Px initiative seeks to strengthen the government-to-person (G2P) payments landscape by bringing together global knowledge and expertise across sectors on the core elements of a modern G2P architecture, that increasingly leverage core digital public infrastructure capabilities.

Through this initiative, the World Bank hopes to build a global movement that ensures that all G2P programs prioritize broader inclusion and empowerment outcomes through a focus on thoughtful and responsible digitization.
