Mobile phones and development: 2 publications.
advocacy, development, phone, poverty
For all those interested in what’s happening with mobile phones and development, advocacy and global poverty, two reports are very interesting. The first was written by Sally-Jean Shackleton of Women’s Net in South Africa and commissioned by UNICEF. It’s titled Rapid Assessment of Cell Phones for Development and aims to provide baseline data that will inform a strategy to launch a new generation of cell phone technologies to address underdevelopment and in particular HIV/AIDS as a development issue.
