Across Asia, mobile phone ownership continues to grow, and prices are dropping. This has led to an increase in mobile phone access writ large, and the potential to integrate mobiles into development projects to improve development outcomes clearly exists. In an effort to catalyze conversations and actions aimed at creating a more holistic and inclusive approach to M4D, USAID and FHI 360 hosted the second annual Mobiles for Development Forum Asia in Bangkok on January 20-21, 2015. Whereas the first forum focused more on sharing services and best practices, this year’s forum was geared towards big ideas that have the potential to drive lasting and genuinely impactful interventions. The event brought together more than 90 individuals from USAID, development organizations, mobile network operators, technology providers, and others who are passionate for M4D.
