Inscription: http://mobilemondaydakarnov2011.eventbrite.com

La prochaine rencontre de Mobile Monday Dakar, première communauté des professionnels du mobile au Sénégal, portera sur l’utilisation des technologies mobiles par les ONGs.

La rencontre débutera par une présentation intitulée « Révolutionner la Pratique des Droits Humains au Niveau Communautaire avec le Mobile » par Guillaume Debar, Program Officer à Tostan. Il y discutera des meilleures pratiques dans la mise en place de solutions mobiles et des challenges pour les ONGs. S’en suivra ensuite une séance de questions/réponses et un débat ouvert entre les invités présents.

L’évènement aura lieu à la Fondation Konrad Adenauer à Dakar. Dans l’esprit MoMo, l’ambiance de la rencontre sera détendue et informelle.

After several months of negotiation via email and a trip to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, we finally signed the contract and launched Mobile Monday Dakar! Mobile Monday Dakar is the first-ever Mobile Monday chapter of French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa. There has been lots of buzz around mobility in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa… but now French-speaking countries are starting to make the news!

Here are some 2010 numbers and facts about Senegal provided by the Senegalese telecom regulator, ARTP (Agence de Regulation des Telecommunications et des Postes). Senegal has more than 8 million phone subscribers distributed amongst Orange (61%), Tigo (28%) and Expresso (11%) and a mobile penetration rate of around 68%. It was recently announced that Globalcom, the Nigerian operator, will enter the market. The number of Internet users is increasing rapidly to reach 87,000 at the end of 2010 due to more affordable ADSL (89.2% of Internet users) and the introduction of 3G (9.6% of Internet users) by Expresso and Orange.

L’évenement aura lieu à JokkoLabs, premier innovation hub d’Afrique Francophone. Il sera agrémenté d’un cocktail dînatoire aux couleurs locales. Dans l’esprit MoMo, et Jokkolabs d’ailleurs, l’ambiance de la rencontre sera détendue et informelle.
