Program areas at Gsma Mobile for Development Foundation

Ecosystem Accelerator : Our mission is to build synergies between start-ups and mobile operators, with the aim to scale innovative and sustainable mobile services in emerging markets. Despite an increasing number of mobile products and services in emerging markets, reaching scale is still a challenge for most. The GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator works to bridge the gap between operators and innovators, enabling strong partnerships that support the growth of commercially sustainable mobile products and services. By opening the dialogue between innovators and operators, the programme helps operators contribute their assets and expertise to the most promising ideas. This will in turn support innovators to secure the funding and direction they require in order to bring their products and services to scale. In fostering these partnerships, we can bring the most impactful mobile solutions to the people and places that need them most, generating the greatest socio-economic impact.
Mobile for Humanitarian's mission is to accelerate the delivery and impact of digital humanitarian assistance: We aim to reach 7 million people with improved access to and use of life-enhancing mobile-enabled services during humanitarian and disaster preparedness, response and recovery by 2021. The GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation (M4H) programme marks an evolution and expansion of the GSMA's disaster response work. The programme is supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The mobile industry continues to grow its engagement and investment in partnerships and solutions that will deliver a digital humanitarian future. Over 156 mobile operators have committed to the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter, an initiative which strengthens the resilience, preparedness and response capability of connectivity systems in over 108 countries. This research aims to provide evidence to help MNOs make informed decisions about engaging in partnerships with humanitarian organizations, and to help humanitarian actors better understand their MNO partners and build successful long-term partnerships.
Mobile Money Programme: Accelerating the mobile money ecosystem for the underserved Our mission is to support our members and industry stakeholders to increase the utility and sustainability of mobile money services and increase financial inclusion. Two billion people remain unbanked, without access to safe, secure and affordable financial services. The GSMA Mobile Money Programme is working with mobile operators and industry stakeholders to create a robust mobile money ecosystem, which will increase the relevancy and utility of these services, and ensure their sustainability. To truly transform the financial lives of underserved people, mobile money must become a central monetization mechanism, universally available across a greater range of digital transactions. By making mobile money more central to the financial lives of these users, greater financial inclusion, economic empowerment and economic growth can be achieved.
