Community Inclusion Currencies are blockchain-based eVouchers that community members use to buy and sell basic needs; connecting local markets and capital reserves that guarantee trading and provision of basic needs, even during times of crisis.

In Kenya, Grassroots Economics in coordination with Red Cross has developed a pilot of Community Inclusion Currencies called the Sarafu Network. Community Inclusion Currencies create a stable medium to exchange which is tied to local development experienced in the form of continued trade during crisis, job creation and greater food security. Participants receive e-Vouchers that they can trade via phone with no internet required. These e-Vouchers are worth 400 Kenyan shillings when used to purchase local goods and services and have variable amounts when trading out to national currency. Pilots have shown that Community Inclusion Currencies enable vulnerable communities such as farmers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists to have a long-term multiplier effect on cash transfer fund impacts, more than 21 times traditional donor assistance.
