Our work is made possible by the Gates Foundation, the UK Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Visa, and supported by the GSMA and its members.

Making an impact
The Mobile for Development team drives innovation in digital technology to reduce inequalities in our world, bringing together mobile operator members, tech innovators, the development community and governments.
The three-day event is organised by the GSMA, with the support of the Ministry of ICT & Innovation of Rwanda, and will explore the themes of Connected Continent, the AI Future, Africa’s Digital Frontier and Fintech.
Following the success of previous iterations, we will once again be hosting a dedicated ‘Mobile for Development Theatre’, providing a unique platform for insightful keynotes, panels and discussions around topics such as agriculture, climate, humanitarian innovation, emerging technologies including AI, digital inclusion and gender, together with the return of the Mobile Money Leadership Forum.
As we prepare for another impactful MWC Kigali, we invite you to engage with our work, be part of the conversation, and explore opportunities to build meaningful partnerships. To register your interest to attend the event, please email us at [email protected].
