MOBILE PHONES IN
ACHIEVING SDGs
1. Support emergency communication and broadcast
services during epidemics, conflicts and natural or
climate-related disasters (Goals 3, 13).
2. Affordable mobile services accelerate digital inclusion
for women in remote areas (Goals 1,4,5,10).
3. Mobile-enabled services facilitate the development of
education, agriculture, health, and financial networks.
(Goals 1,3,4,8,16).
4. 3G and 4G technology drives efficiency in business
processes across many industries, including finance
and health (Goals 8,9).
5. Camera phone to snap and upload flora and fauna
shots to a central database (Goals 13,14,15).
6. Contribute to economic growth (Goals 1,8).
