WHY IS A4AI NEEDED?
Affordability remains a key issue…
Broadband Prices as % of GNI per capita

Fixed Broadband
Mobile Broadband

Developed
1.7%
1.4%

Developing
30.1%
11 - 25%*

* dependent on plan

Source: ITU Facts and Figures 2013

• In Africa, mobile broadband prices still represents 36-58% of
GNI per capita.

• Broadband Commission just reported that over 90% of people in
the world’s 49 least developed countries are still not connected

Why does this matter?
• Some impact areas
– Health: tele-medicine, faster diagnosis
– Education: increased access to educational tools,
information and materials
– Gender: access to information, job opportunities,
public participation, support systems
– Agriculture: providing ready access to agricultural
prices and markets, facilitating better crop
management
– Citizenship: public participation, access to
government information and services
