In Bangladesh, we see a tremendous opportunity to use mobile money to innovate, better serve clients and become more efficient. We want you to share your ideas on how mobile money can be used at BRAC. BRAC has received funding from the Bill & Melinda GatesFoundation to support a mobile money focused innovation fund at BRAC.

Through a selection process (explained in more detail on the web site), up to six of the most promising ideas will be selected and implemented at BRAC in 2014. Get started now and share your ideas on the fund challenge site! This site also has more information about the challenge, and you can see other people’s ideas, indicate whether you like or dislike them, and comment.

We hope that you’ll share ideas, vote and comment on other people’s ideas, and tell your colleagues and friends. Ideas are welcome from everyone, from anywhere in the world. Help us spread the word!
