- Abstract
The article analyzes the risks and challenges associated with biometric-mediated cash assistance. It highlights that biometric technology is combined with other cash assistance delivery technologies, such as mobile and blockchain technologies. The cash transfer programs in the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps in Kenya are mentioned, illustrating the variations in cash transfer programs. It is also noted that some refugees have experienced difficulties with reading their biometric data, which has affected their access to cash assistance. The question is raised as to who will advocate for the protection of privacy and freedom of choice for refugees and displaced persons in the Global South.
