Abstract

Relying on the 2017 Cameroon Finscope Consumer survey dataset, the goal of this working paper is to conceptualize households' adoption of financial resilience strategies to adverse shocks as a multi-step process and investigate the key factors that influence the transition from one step to another as well as the role of mobile money in each of these transitions
