The DSG Toolkit, also available in Kinyarwanda, consists of seven practical tools to support safe, effective, and gender-responsive digitization of savings groups. These tools include practical guidance for implementers and trainers across multiple aspects of digitization, such as:

Each tool can be used by implementers just beginning to think about their first DSG project and by those who are mid-project or preparing to expand. They can be used individually or as a complete set, depending upon the needs of the implementer.

The DSG Toolkit should be used in conjunction with the DSG Gender & Inclusion Analysis Tool.
