The GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation Fund aims to promote innovation in using mobile technology to address humanitarian challenges. The third round of the Fund focused on supporting projects, which provide solutions to challenges associated with forced displacement and complex humanitarian emergencies. It concentrated on collaborative partnerships, and solutions that demonstrate long-term sustainability and scalability beyond this grant.

This case study shares lessons and outcomes from our project with Bboxx, a technology company that transforms lives and unlocks potential by connecting consumers and deploying innovative products across Africa. Bboxx received a grant to scale up their operation of providing affordable clean energy solutions in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
