M4H Innovation Fund lessons and outcomes: Danish Refugee Council’s Water ATMs in Uganda

The GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation Fund aims to promote innovation in using mobile technology to address humanitarian challenges. The second round of the Fund focused on providing support to test new technical solutions; catalyse ideas to improve or transform institutional systems; and enable solutions to empower, assist or protect individuals and communities affected by complex emergencies and forced displacement.

This case study document shares lessons and outcomes from our project with the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) testing the use of mobile payments for safe and sustainable water from the AQtap “Water ATM” solution in the Kyaka 11 settlement in Uganda.
