Outgoing resources including foreign exchange gains and losses (continued) Mobile Value Added Services Projects Taking forward the work of our Women and Mobile report, we have started a new project with support from ExxonMobil that will test tailored mobile value-added services for women entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Nigeria and Egypt. Through this project, we are identifying the challenges specifically faced by women entrepreneurs in our three chosen target markets and addressing them using mobile value-added services. The benefits of this two-year project will be enjoyed by thousands of women entrepreneurs. Mobile Retail Channels Study Through new research, we have developed insights on the inclusion of women entrepreneurs in the retail channels of mobile operators. This research is the first of its kind and spells out the commercial justifications for mobile operators to include more women in their retail channels. Thousands of potential business opportunities for women exist in this sphere, which this study highlights. Supply Chain Management Solutions Project The Foundation, alongside the Vodafone Foundation in India, is working in partnership with India’s Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) to develop a mobile-based Management Information System (MIS) for SEWA’s Rural Distribution Network (RUDI).
