Rob Shutter <\/strong><\/p>\n

THE MTN Group has
\nlaunched its \u201cWe\u2019re good together\u201d initiative. <\/p>\n

This is aimed at
\ndemonstrating how, in partnering with its host countries, it can change lives
\nby improving digital access, driving financial inclusion, empowering and
\nenabling SMEs, as well as creating jobs and broad community development, among
\nothers. <\/p>\n

Group CEO and
\nPresident Rob Shutter notes in a remark: \u201cTo harness the potential of Africa
\nand ensure our youth are productively employed, we need affordable, safe and
\nrelevant digital services which are matched with the required digital skills.
\nThis in turn will support the global development agenda and national
\npriorities. As one of the major infrastructure investors across Africa, MTN
\nthrough partnership and collaboration can accelerate this digital inclusion.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to the
\ncompany, the global telecommunications industry has made significant progress
\non the Sustainable Development Goals but more still remained to be done to
\nbridge the digital divide, and MTN is prepared to do its part. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cOver the last 25 years, MTN has built high-speed
\nnetworks covering 560 million people, created jobs for over five million people
\nand through MTN Mobile Money, connected 30 million people to the benefits of
\neasy, cost-effective mobile financial services across the continent,\u201d said Shutter.\n<\/p>\n

MTN also noted it had
\nworked to use this extensive mobile reach and technology to enable access to
\neducation, with the goal of promoting and enabling digital teaching and learning.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMTN only succeeds
\nif Africa succeeds. Being a partner in development also means that we have a
\nresponsibility to enable the youth to unlock economic opportunities in every
\ncountry we operate in. We have therefore enhanced our focus on more actively demonstrating
\nwhat can be achieved if we work together to enable a shared value system and
\ndrive a prosperous Africa,\u201d added Shutter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
