A co-design innovation methodology : towards efficient delivery of mobile services in developing regions
conference paper
The rapid growth of telecommunication infrastructures in Africa has created a favourable environment for mobiles services to emerge, especially the ones aiming at social impact. While a number of successful pilots have been reported, few of these services have achieved scale and significant impact. In this paper, we describe a co-design innovation methodology that takes into account the specificities of developing regions in Africa and the particularities of the mobile industry favouring successful mobile services development and deployment. The co-design innovation methodology has been validated partially in two case studies in Namibia and Uganda.
