Mobile Africa 2

Vodafone, a global telecom company which has been commended for its corporate responsiblity, has recently published a policy series paper entitiled Africa: the impact of mobile phones. This influential document makes a few key points including the positive influence of mobiles on development, social capital, and quality of life as well as the differing roles of mobile phones in developed vs. developing countries. My current project will look at how mobile phones may be used to improve the health of persons living with HIV/AIDS in rural Africa.
