m-Powering Development Initiative 2011-2018

​​ In the past years, mobile communications has seen enormous growth worldwide. The mobile phone now offers the potential of becoming a universal communications tool and going well beyond voice and data to deliver new, sophisticated ICT services to improve people’s lives.

The m-Powering Development Initiative is designed to create a resource and an action plan to deploy ICT services, from m-Health, m-Learning, m-Governance to m-Commerce and m-Sport. In doing so, it can cut costs and reshape, for the better, public service delivery for many millions of individuals, particularly those living in in remote or rural areas of the world.

In its first report, the m-Powering Development Initiative has already identified many particular approaches and real-life examples from around the world that could prospectively be adopted elsewhere.

The second cycle of the m-Powering Advisory Board ended in December 2018. 

​The Telecommunication Development Bureau is coordinating the Initiative with an Advisory Board of senior experts drawn from the public and private sectors.
