Impact

Hundreds of millions of people still rely on basic or 3G-only phones. GSMA puts smartphone adoption at ≈ 51 % of all active connections in sub-Saharan Africa and forecasts the region will still lag well into the next decade.

Data and expertise in next-gen underwriting is the real bottleneck: private credit bureaus cover fewer than one-in-five adults, so most first-time upgraders are invisible to traditional financiers.

Partnering with MNOs to Drive Impact at Scale

Mission Mobile pursues meaningful impact through deep collaboration with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Africa's most powerful catalysts for digital inclusion. By tapping into the unparalleled reach, extensive data insights, and trusted relationships that MNOs have built with millions of subscribers, we accelerate smartphone adoption across the continent, while simultaneously driving tangible business benefits for our partners.

Closing the Inclusion Gap

Over 600 million users still rely on feature phones, with smartphones representing only 44% of total mobile connections despite years of growth, highlighting the persistence of basic tech.
