UNICEF and Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) launch Internet of Good Things (IoGT)
The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) partnered with Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) to create a social media platform called Internet of Good Things (IoGT) which provides free information on life related issues in Malawi. This tool will work together with the U-report, an opinion pooling system for young people, developed earlier this year.
Andrew Brown, UNICEF Chief of Communications, Advocacy and Partnership said TNM users with a smartphone will have access to information on maternal health, HIV and sexual health, education, hygiene and emergency information.
