We all know how popular and widespread mobile phones have become in Africa, Tanzania in particular. However innovative mobile services have yet to catch on.

Note however, that these are foreign companies bringing in solutions from outside. I don’t see how the NGOs can’t employ Tanzanian developers and even more surprising is that local firms aren’t capturing this market.
