Despite an increasing number of mobile products and services in emerging markets, reaching scale is still a challenge for most. The GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator works to bridge the gap between operators and innovators, enabling strong partnerships that support the growth of commercially sustainable mobile products and services. By opening the dialogue between innovators and operators, the programme helps operators contribute their assets and expertise to the most promising ideas. This will in turn support innovators to secure the funding and direction they require in order to bring their products and services to scale. In fostering these partnerships, we can bring the most impactful mobile solutions to the people and places that need them most, generating the greatest socio-economic impact. 2674408 Mobile Money Programme: Accelerating the mobile money ecosystem for the underserved Our mission is to support our members and industry stakeholders to increase the utility and sustainability of mobile money services and increase financial inclusion. Two billion people remain unbanked, without access to safe, secure and affordable financial services. The GSMA Mobile Money Programme is working with mobile operators and industry stakeholders to create a robust mobile money ecosystem, which will increase the relevancy and utility of these services, and ensure their sustainability. To truly transform the financial lives of underserved people, mobile money must become a central monetization mechanism, universally available across a greater range of digital transactions. By making mobile money more central to the financial lives of these users, greater financial inclusion, economic empowerment and economic growth can be achieved. 5491644 2686212 Mobile for Humanitarian's mission is to accelerate the delivery and impact of digital humanitarian assistance: We aim to reach 7 million people with improved access to and use of life-enhancing mobile-enabled services during humanitarian and disaster preparedness, response and recovery by 2021. The GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation (M4H) programme marks an evolution and expansion of the GSMA's disaster response work. The programme is supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The mobile industry continues to grow its engagement and investment in partnerships and solutions that will deliver a digital humanitarian future. Over 156 mobile operators have committed to the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter, an initiative which strengthens the resilience, preparedness and response capability of connectivity systems in over 108 countries. This research aims to provide evidence to help MNOs make informed decisions about engaging in partnerships with humanitarian organizations, and to help humanitarian actors better understand their MNO partners and build successful long-term partnerships. 2445445 276474 connected society 1732903 connected women 457440 digital identity 2353398 248688 agritech for development 1097263 AI4I 851482 M4D utilities 234397 Sustainability 1265414 M4D Initiatives 802274 Assistive Tech 29150 Foundation Youth Mobile & Tech4Girls 704140 CleanTech 11973306 525162 23012049 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false true true true false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true 8 0 true 0 false true UK false false false false false false false false false false X 11 8 true false false false true true true true true false false false true true true true false true true false GA X LORENA FERRO 6782816616 165 OTTLEY DR NE STE 150 ATLANTA GA 30324 Mats Granryd Director General 2.0 40.0 X X 0 1559068 0 Louise Easterbrook Treasurer 2.0 40.0 X X 0 596797 0 David Walsh General Counsel 10.0 30.0 X 0 551955 36959 John Giusti Board of Directors 2.0 40.0 X 0 489836 28349 Lawrence Yanovitch President of GSMA Foundation 40.0 0.0 X 235568 0 0 Monique Cormier Deputy General Counsel 20.0 20.0 X 0 222952 6682 Max Cuvellier Head of Ecosystem Accelerator 40.0 0.0 X 194852 0 16456 Claire Sibthorpe Head of Connected Women 40.0 0.0 X 168030 0 22815 Kevin Bowman Senior Director, Connected Soc 40.0 0.0 X 108808 0 66187 Natalia Pshenichnaya Head of mNutrition 40.0 0.0 X 143411 0 21491 Philippe Bellordre Head of Programme Delivery - A 40.0 0.0 X 137240 0 15842 William Derbun Market Engagement Director 40.0 0.0 X 114679 0 16055 Sigve Brekke Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Nasser Marafih Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Assaad Jabre Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kaan Terzioglu Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ralph Mupita Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 amolo ng'weno Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Karen Halazon Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Izzaddin Idris Board of Directors 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 1102588 3420608 230836 7 false true false PROJECT PEOPLE WHITEFRIARS LEWINS MEAD BRISTOL AVON UK BS1 2NT CONTRACTORS- STAFF 1554403 Tetra Tech International Devlelopme THE MALTHOUSE 1 NORTHFIELD ROAD READING 0 UK RG1 8AH FUND MANAGER 398811 Ipsos Mori UK Limited 3 THOMAS MORE SQUARE LONDON 0 UK E1W 1YW Research 527965 Yux Sas 3 RUE BERANGER FERAUD DAKAR 0 SG MH99 MP Research 451101 ALTAI CONSULTING 43 RUE LA FAYETTE PARIS 0 FR 75009 CONSULTANT RESEARCH 535356 23 2689745 21145140 3486682 27321567 0 711 711 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN 844739 844739 844739 28167017 845450 X 1050317 1050317 0 3178506 3178506 0 622121 622121 0 7497789 6748139 681663 67987 429999 395080 34919 0 750440 688009 62431 0 169249 169249 68825 68825 0 0 0 11984091 9181735 2571759 230597 958581 958581 8545 6171 2374 34395 34395 0 0 0 0 149070 148995 75 0 0 0 0 BANK FEES 87852 87852 26989780 23012049 3676698 301033 11743781 10236099 0 0 0 0 28421 61317 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11772202 10297416 6214536 4220996 0 0 5266179 5327668 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11480715 9548664 X 291487 748752 0 0 291487 748752 11772202 10297416 X 1177237 -719972 X false true X true true true X X 1 GSM ASSOCIATION 980506316 10 true 23012049 0 1 23012049 true false true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 3B Officers and directors of the foundation have seen and reviewed the GSM Association's determination letter from the IRS that it has been recognized as an organization described by Section 501(C)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code.
