{Rwanda’s ICT ministry and the GSMA have announced an agreement to undertake a series of initiatives to increase citizen access to mobile broadband technologies across the country. } <\/p>\n
Through the partnership, the GSMA and Rwanda will undertake a range of initiatives to develop joint forums to build institutional capacity, discuss sectoral policies and increase understanding of the socio-economic benefits of mobile, create educational and training programmes on mobile regulation to foster socio-economic development, and expand financial inclusion through mobile money services and ensure sound spectrum management. <\/p>\n
The initiatives will contribute to the development of the Rwandan government’s national broadband strategies for attaining digital inclusion, with a focus on spectrum management as a key enabler for mobile broadband services and exploring mobile’s potential across sectors such as energy and water, financial services, agriculture, education and healthcare. <\/p>\n
The development takes place in the lead-up to the GSMA’s annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a key gathering for African stakeholders with over 46 African governments attending last year.<\/p>\n
