What has recently come under the spotlight is the use of mobile technology to ensure that<br />

the poor in developing countries have greater access to financial services. Widely used even<br />

among the poor, mobile phones are utilized in receiving social welfare benefits, or making<br />

payments and deposits, thereby guaranteeing efficiency and reducing transaction costs.<br />

In particular, the British Department for International Development (DFID) utilizes its<br />

knowhow from the country's advanced financial sector to help the poor in developing<br />

economies have better access to financial services. Based on their experience of developing<br />

fair trade, the DFID promotes fair trade for the development of private sectors in recipient<br />

countries. The United Kingdom pursues the most active level of private sector development<br />

among donor countries by developing innovative business models and catalyzing private<br />

investment in education, public health, and other basic services. It also emphasizes private<br />

sector development in marginalized countries. Direct governmental involvement does not<br />

take place often; most of the projects are undertaken in the form of separate funds or<br />

financing collected for private organizations. Capitalizing on its competitiveness in the<br />

financial sector, the country provides technology development funds for microfinance<br />

providers to help improve financial access 8 .<br />

Similarly, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) expanded the<br />

department for public-private cooperation into the Office of Innovation and Development<br />

Alliances (IDEA) in 2012. With a former business consultant as its director, the office<br />

executes private sector development strategies that implement innovative and creative ideas<br />

according to the condition and environment of recipient countries 9 .<br />

2) Sector - Convergence with Overall Areas of Development<br />

This means that the underlying economic value of culture is realized in combination with<br />

the overall sectors of development. It is the closest domain to culture as a separate sector, but<br />

the convergence with other areas is carried out given that culture is still not a sector on its<br />

own. Here are the prime examples of convergence between culture and industry, or culture<br />

and education that indicate the scope of this domain:<br />

Development and Cultural Independence)<br />
