Abstract

Mobile Money (MM) and Mobile Payments (MP) have become levers of growth. They drive economic, social, and Sustainable Development (SD). Despite the rich literature on MM and MP, we need more synthesis that cover their contributions as forms of Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D). We explored MM/MP as ICT4D through a systematic literature review coupled with a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) approach. The data analyses revealed that publications have increased significantly since 2018. Financial inclusion is the most studied area. It's studied for its contribution to SD. We also need to study these technologies’ effects on SD. This includes their effects on society and the environment. We propose a research agenda regarding these technologies at individual, organizational, country, regional, and global levels of analysis. It can help to find how these ICT4D improve people’s lives and foster sustainable development.
