Mobile technology has become more common than we think. Mobile devices have connected people around the world on issues such as vital information, financial resources, and rescue networks. This month + SocialGood will explore mobile solutions, such as maternal health messages or collaborative disaster reports.
The mobile technology revolution has transformed the ways in which we communicate, gather information, and how we communicate with the outside world. Development organizations, businesses, governments, and common people have used these new capabilities to progress with the Global Objectives. Look at these three examples:
Connecting marginalized populations to services: Mobile phones offer connections for people who have been historically difficult to reach due to cultural, geographical or other barriers. The United Nations uses mobile technology to provide access to health care and information, educational services, financial inclusion, and civil registration . Learn how you can set up a system to handle UNHCR two-way messages in two minutes.
-RapidPro , a free mobile health monitoring messaging tool, created by UNICEF, allows workers to gather information in vital areas, even in the farthest and most remote corners of the world.
-UNDP shares as a partnership with the ANZ Bank, the Australian government and the Pacific financial inclusion program, used mobile technology to connect 900 rural coconut farmers in the Solomon Islands to secure financial services.
-The UNICEF pilot program created to use mobile technology to register births in an area of Pakistan, had incredible results. In 2014, only 5% of newborn children were registered within the first six months of birth. In 2015, that number reached an impressive 95%.
Collecting essential development data: In addition to reaching hard-to-reach and marginalized people, mobile technology also allows these populations to report information about their health, their surroundings, and the challenges they face . Mobile information has helped fight disease, identify sexual harassment, assist farmers, and more. Read the mobile data for the development of Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data.
-MHealth solutions supports global health by tracking risk factors, identifying counterfeit drugs, surveying populations and helping to implement national policies.
-QR codes allowed the WFP to track the movements of nearly five million mosquito networks that they sent on behalf of UNDP and Global Fund , to 1,000 health centers around Zambia. These codes allowed them to track the networks through Relief Item Tracking , a centralized application at the WFP headquarters in Rome.
-The AgriUp app allows small farmers in Guatemala to share and receive location-specific weather alerts, farmer tips and nutritional tips.
