dc.description.abstract | With some 6 billion mobile subscriptions in use worldwide, around three-quarters of the world's inhabitants now have access to a mobile phone. Mobiles are arguably the most ubiquitous modern technology: in some developing countries, more people have access to a mobile phone than to a bank account, electricity, or even clean water. Mobile communications now offer major opportunities to advance human development from providing basic access to education or health information to making cash payments to stimulating citizen involvement in democratic processes. The developing world is 'more mobile' than the developed world. In the developed world, mobile communications have added value to legacy communication systems and have supplemented and expanded existing information flows. However, the developing world is following a different, 'mobile first' development trajectory. Many mobile innovations such as multi-SIM card phones, low-value recharges, and mobile payments have originated in poorer countries and are spreading from there. New mobile applications that are designed locally and rooted in the realities of the developing world will be much better suited to addressing development challenges than applications transplanted from elsewhere. In particular, locally developed applications can address developing-country concerns such as digital literacy and affordability. This 2012 edition of the World Bank's information and communications for development report analyzes the growth and evolution of mobile telephony, and the rise of data-based services delivered to handheld devices, including apps. The report explores the consequences for development of the emerging 'app economy.' It summarizes current thinking and seeks to inform the debate on the use of mobile phones for development. This report looks at key ecosystem-based applications in agriculture, health, financial services, employment, and government, with chapters devoted to each. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Avec environ six millions d’abonnements actifs dans le monde, ce sont trois quarts des habitants du globe qui ont désormais accès au téléphone mobile. Les téléphones mobiles constituent sans doute la technologie moderne la plus répandue : dans certains pays en développement l’on compte un nombre plus élevé de personnes ayant accès à un téléphone portable qu’à un compte bancaire, à l’électricité ou même à l’eau potable. Les systèmes de communications mobiles présentent des possibilités énormes de faire avancer le développement humain, à commencer par l’élargissement de l’accès à l’éducation de base ou aux informations sanitaires, en passant par les paiements en espèces et l’incitation du citoyen à s’engager dans les processus démocratiques. Les applications mobiles donnent de l’autonomie à leurs utilisateurs et contribuent à améliorer leur qualité de vie et leurs moyens d’existence tout en renforçant l’ensemble de l’économie. Le rapport montre que les applications mobiles permettent non seulement d’autonomiser les individus, mais aussi d’avoir des répercussions positives sur la croissance, l’entrepreneuriat et la productivité à l’échelle de l’économie toute entière. L’édition 2012 du rapport Information et communications au service du développement analyse la croissance et l’évolution de la téléphonie mobile et la montée en puissance des services basés sur les données acheminés vers les appareils portatifs, notamment les applications. Le rapport examine les conséquences de l’économie émergente des applications sur le développement. Il fait la synthèse de la réflexion actuelle et tente d’enrichir le débat sur l’utilisation du téléphone mobile au service du développement. Il passe en revue des applications clés du secteur dans les domaines de l’agriculture, la santé, les services financiers, l’emploi et l’administration publique ; des chapitres entiers sont consacrés à chacun de ces domaines. Ce n’est plus le téléphone lui-même qui retient l’attention, mais plutôt la manière dont il est utilisé, ainsi que le contenu et les applications auxquels le téléphone mobile permet d’accéder. | fr |
