[kictanet] Women in tech - Mpesa Migration Story

[Harry Hare | African eDevelopment Resource Centre]

Grace, thanks for sharing.

Great story and achievement by the SWAT Team at Safaricom. Anyone working on
projects will appreciate the kind of planning and meticulous execution
required to work on such a project. And Mpesa being the giant it is, the
pressure and all the things that can go wrong are just countless.

I salute Emma and all the men and women who delivered this project
successfully within scope, time and hopefully budget!
