As demand grows in urban centres, emerging markets face significant obstacles channeling future investment to rural and peri-urban communities where the challenges of delivering basic water and energy services are numerous. The GSMA sees an opportunity for the mobile industry to help solve these challenges in emerging markets. How? As mobile connectivity extends beyond the reach of the electricity grid and central water utilities more people now have access to the mobile network than to energy and water. Globally, it is estimated that 411 million people have access to the mobile network before they have access to energy and 165 million people have access to the mobile network before they have access to an "improved" water source. 1393326 350000 m-Agri 1162449 m4D Impact 1035903 mHealth 376336 m4D Network 329832 Green Power for Mobile (GPM) 22026 mEmployment 4319872 350000 11675945 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 11 0 0 false true UK false false false false false false false false X 6 5 true false false false true true true true true false false false true true true false false true true false GA X LAWRENCE YANOVITCH 6782816616 1000 ABERNATHY ROAD ATLANTA GA 30328 X David Frolio SECRETARY 10.0 30.0 X 0 425562 18678 DR NASSER MARAFIH BOARD MEMBER 2.0 X ANNE BOUVEROT BOARD MEMBER 2.0 40.0 X 818074 133951 DATO SRI JAMALUDIN IBRAHIM BOARD MEMBER 2.0 X ASSAAD JABRE BOARD MEMBER 2.0 X AHMAD ABDULKARIM JULFAR BOARD MEMBER 2.0 X SONAL SHAH BOARD MEMBER 2.0 X Lawrence Yanovitch President 40.0 X 231970 1221 Seema Desai Director - MMU 40.0 X 170084 6057 Beth Gertz DIRECTOR - MWOMEN 40.0 X 192405 13463 Fiona Smith Director - mAgri 40.0 X 153164 9318 Maria Yasmina McCarty Senior Manager - MMU 40.0 X 144607 8854 GUNNAR CAMNER MMU Senior Commmercial Mgr 40.0 X 113155 LARA GILMAN MMU Senior Commmercial Mgr 40.0 X 106616 4346 0 2355637 195888 0 false true false Project People UK WHITEFRIARS LEWINS MEAD BRISTOL AVON UK BS1 2NT Contractors- Staff 2548995 BANKABLE FRONTIER ASSOCIATES LLC 48 GROVE STREET SUITE 106 SOMERVILLE MA 02144 Consultant- research 247877 THOUGHTWORKS LTD 9TH FLOOR BERKSHIRE HOUSE 168-173, HIGH HOLBORN LONDON UK WC1V 7AA Consultant- research 197419 INTERMEDIA SURVEY INSTITUTE 1401 NEW YORK AVE NW 10TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20005 Consultant- research 196676 ALTAI CONSULTING 43 RUE LA FAYETTE PARIS 0 FR 75009 Consultant- research 143976 6 X 870487 11452280 12322767 0 686 686 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12323453 686 618474 618474 0 1555371 1555371 0 774136 497347 159512 117277 0 1741812 1714584 27228 63651 60579 3072 0 257973 239062 11616 7295 169995 169995 10588 9224 1364 40658 40658 0 0 0 4607277 4606577 700 228563 228563 20128 8402 11726 12024 11950 74 0 0 1713229 1617985 21632 73612 0 335235 333881 1354 0 0 0 0 FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPENSE 21892 21892 BANK FEES 9834 3951 5883 12180840 11675945 306711 198184 7760430 15278259 0 0 0 0 477669 201700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8238099 15479959 1926835 4813703 0 0 6311264 10666256 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8238099 15479959 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8238099 15479959 X 142613 -142613 X false true X true true true X X true false false GSM ASSOCIATION 980506316 0 true true false 2173845 1 2173845 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 X 12323453 12323453 12323453 12323453 142613 142613 12180840 12180840 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2, FIN 48 (ASC 740-10) GSMA Mobile for Development Foundation, Inc. develops and engages in projects that advance charitable, educational, literary or scientific purposes, within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is exempt from federal income tax as an organization described by Section 501(c)(3).
