Connected women how mobile can support women's economic and social empowerment
This document discusses research conducted by Vodafone and Accenture on mobile services that can empower women. It finds that mobile learning programs could benefit 5.3 million women by improving literacy, and a text messaging program to cover healthcare costs could avoid 1.8 million years of poor health. Modeling shows that widely available mobile services across Vodafone's markets by 2020 could benefit 8.7 million women and generate $6.6 billion in annual economic benefits. Addressing the gender gap in mobile access could create $22.3 billion in economic benefits for women and society. The report examines how services in education, health, safety, work and loneliness can help women through access to opportunities, information and support networks

SAP Presentation
This document discusses using mobile phones to facilitate business incubation for rural micro and small enterprises in South Africa. It notes that business incubation traditionally designed for developed countries does not translate well to South Africa due to large geographical areas and rural populations with limited access. The concept of "Mobi-Incubation" is introduced, using mobile phones to provide business support services remotely. However, challenges in user experience must be addressed when designing a mobile incubation application for rural users. The document proposes investigating user experience elements and developing an actual Mobi-Incubation application to test its impact on rural areas.

The James 1:27 Trust is developing a Management System for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (MSOVC) to help care for at-risk children in South Africa. The MSOVC will use various business information management systems, like SAP BusinessOne for financial management and a custom system called the James Remote Terminal for wireless data collection, integrated into a holistic model for child development. This aims to help community-based organizations securely deliver resources and care to children while managing data and understanding their needs.
Ushahidi Presentation
This document provides an overview of the VAC Benin Ushahidi Project workflow and process. The workflow involves victims or observers sending SMS reports of violence to Plan Benin, which are then forwarded to various actors and mapped on Ushahidi. PU focal points investigate reports, update information, and approve reports if credible. The project coordinator monitors the system and creates reports. The ICT manager maintains the technology and the program support manager provides strategic oversight. Reports are reviewed and either approved or unapproved based on credibility and privacy standards before being published.
Plan Benin Presentation
The USHAHIDI project in Benin uses SMS reporting and mapping to fight violence against children. It allows youth to anonymously report incidents of violence via SMS. Reports are mapped and shared with authorities and organizations to facilitate response and advocacy. Over 128 reports have been approved and supported. Challenges include fully transitioning the system to government ownership and ensuring timely and adequate response to all reports.
Yetam Powerpoint
Through the Youth Empowerment through Technology, Arts and Media (YETAM) project in Cameroon, Plan Cameroon empowers youth ages 12 to 21 to advocate for their rights. The YETAM methodology trains youth in leadership, gender issues, communications, and information technologies. Youth then conduct advocacy projects on issues they identify like violence and gender discrimination. Using tools like GPS, video, and websites, youth document community resources and needs to influence local decisions and development plans.
ISIS-WICCE Presentation
The document discusses a project by Isis-WICCE to train grassroots women in Uganda in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as computers, mobile phones, the internet, and social media. The project aimed to help the women combat violence against women by sharing information and accessing legal support. Key lessons learned included that with training, women were able to grasp ICT concepts and use the tools, but that ongoing support is needed given women's heavy workloads. The project also highlighted both how ICTs can perpetuate violence but also be used to report abuse and raise awareness of women's rights issues.
