The document appears to be a collection of slides from the Humanitarian Technology Challenge Conference 2009. The slides discuss how mobile phones and SMS technology are revolutionizing conservation efforts, economic development, and humanitarian work in developing areas of Africa and elsewhere. They provide examples of how FrontlineSMS software is being used by local organizations for tasks like emergency alerts, surveys, monitoring, and job listings to make a difference in their communities.

impact
that
mobile
phones
have
on
the
developing
world
is
as
revolutionary
as
roads,
railways
and
ports,
increasing
social
cohesion
and
releasing
the
entrepreneurial
spirit
that
stimulates
trade
and
creates
jobs”

37. “During
a
recent
security
alert,
FrontlineSMS
was
essential
for
us
getting
the
word
out
quickly.
E-‐mail
was
down,
voice
was
spotty
but
SMS
still
worked
We
had
female
staff
at
a
school
near
a
major
incident
and
were
able
to
tell
them
to
stay
put
till
things
quietened
down.
All
my
staff
made
it
home
safe
today”
