Based in UNCDF, the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA) is a partnership of 70 governments, companies and international organizations that accelerates the transition from cash to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

Payments completed in agribusiness value chains represent some of the most significant payment flows of national economies and play an important role in building inclusive digital payments ecosystems. As part of catalyzing the global movement from cash to digital with the private sector, the Better Than Cash Alliance is committed to supporting digitization of payment flows in different business sectors including the cocoa sector in Ghana with both the Government and private sector companies.
