Last week we briefly spoke about Pan-African mHealth Initiative and its main objectives. To unlock the potential of mHealth, the GSMA started testing the initiative in South Africa. We are also expanding the scale of our mHealth programme, and building upon an established capability and expertise as our activities expand into other countries across Africa. To help meet this, we’re recruiting 10 new roles, based in our offices either in London or Nairobi, expected to begin 1st of September.
Below is a breakdown of the roles we’re currently recruiting for – if you’re interested please apply here. Be sure to share these roles with your networks as well!

A parallel function will be to create and support partnership opportunities between GSMA member mobile operators and the mHealth stakeholder community with the aim of either: leveraging and growing existing mHealth services in Nigeria or Malawi; and/or stimulating new service launches that leverage mobile operator assets.
