Apologies for cross-posting!

We are pleased to announce the release of a new report on Wireless 
Technology for Social Change: Trends in NGO Mobile Use 
- http://mobileactive.org/wireless-technology-social-change-trends-ngo-mobile-use

Mobile technology is transforming the way advocacy, development and 
relief organizations accomplish their institutional missions. This is 
nothing news to readers of MobileActive.org, of course!  The recent 
report Wireless Technology for Social Change: Trends in NGO Mobile Use, 
released today by the United Nations Foundation and The Vodafone Group 
Foundation, brings this point home.

Wireless Technology for Social Change: Trends in NGO Mobile Use was 
written by Sheila Kinkade (ShareIdea.org) and myself, and commissioned 
by the United Nations Foundation-Vodafone Group Foundation Technology 
Partnership. The report examines emerging trends in “mobile activism” by 
looking at 11 case studies of groups active in the areas of public 
health, humanitarian assistance and environmental conservation.

Please feel free to pass on to other interested parties, and thanks!

Best,

Katrin
