 We're here at ITU Telecom World 2015 in Budapest, Hungary, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Dr Shahad Sapra, who is principal adviser and director of the UNICEF Global Innovation Centre based in Nairobi. Dr Sapra, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you. I'd like to start off by talking about the theme of ITU Telecom World 2015 is accelerating innovation for social impact. How do you see ICT innovation directly impacting children's lives around the world? With very high penetration rates of mobile phones and many very high user rate of using mobile phones, even by the poor in this world, telecommunications offers a great opportunity for making it a level playing field. We look at mobile phone, not just a talking tool, but as a personal adviser, as a personal interactive tool, and a replacement for transport. That is why it's so exciting and so important that we are here today in Budapest talking about these things. Now, the overriding theme here very much at ITU Telecom World is looking at SMEs, is encouraging SMEs on entrepreneurship here. How important are local entrepreneurship and grassroots communities in innovation for development? And what measures do you think that government and industry can take to encourage entrepreneurship and foster the growth of SMEs in the ICT sector? Right. We believe that every challenge that we face today, someone has found the answer. We just need to find that person. And to do that, it is extremely important that we keep our ears to the ground. And therefore local innovation, grassroots innovations is critical. And they usually come up as small and medium enterprises if they are found. M-PISA, or the Mobile Money Transfer, came out of Africa because it was relevant to the context. It didn't come out of the north because they had banks. Africa didn't have banks. And so they found a way of moving money without having to move people to move money. And it's extremely important that government then realizes the fact and supports the fact that a large part of context-sensitive innovations are going to come from their grassroots. There are some governments who have set up innovation funds or youth funds. And I think it's important realizing that there is a little bit of risk that need to be put in. And the government is the best place to make that calculated risk. At the same time, it is critical for the government to actually create a policy environment and a policy framework where small and medium enterprises could actually benefit. They could be organizing training courses with private sector and foundations to make sure that these young people who have brilliant ideas but not necessarily the science and technology or the process of setting up an enterprise available that they actually are supported so that grassroots innovations can actually inform national growth. And what's UNICEF's role in all this? Well, one of the big part that we play is that of a connector, is how do we incubate, how do we harvest great ideas, great startups, see how we can put the science and technology behind it. We have large companies and organizations. Everybody wants to invest in success. No one wants to invest in that initial small amount that is to be put in a risk situation to convert it into a success. And that's where we see our role. And how is ITU Telecom World helping you to showcase innovation for improving lives? What's the value of attending events such as ITU Telecom World? I think this is a great event. This is a great place where you can meet thousands of people, like-minded people, which otherwise you would have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and God knows how many years to connect to. It also provides a space not only to exchange ideas but actually see what is happening and then make those literal connections that are so important in this day and age to actually take an idea from being an idea into being a success. Thank you very much for taking with us today. My pleasure. Thank you.
