Kenya recently launched Africa’s first mobile apps lab, m-lab.

The facility is aimed at encouraging innovation in the East African country and is supported by the World Bank, Nokia and the Government of Finland.

Set up in Nairobi, the lab will initially house six startups and is hosted by the iHub Consortium, a consortium that includes Nairobi’s iHub, eMobilis, the World Wide Web Foundation, and the University of Nairobi School of Computing and Informatics.

The Kenyan Government has shown keen interest in the lab.

According to Dr. Bitange Ndemo, Kenya’s Ministry of ICT’s Permanent Secretary, “a problem to overcome is that people don’t collaborate enough. If we can begin to widen and collaborate through facilities like m:lab, the mobile applications emerging from the region will become more successful. After incubation, these ideas will be shifted from the labs to the business commercial sector,” he said.

Currently, ICT constitutes about 5% of Kenya’s GDP. The hope is that initiatives such as the m-lab will help boost ICT’s contribution to the Kenyan economy.

“In Kenya, it’s clear that there is a lot of potential in ICT,” the World Bank’s Country Director for Kenya, Johannes Zutt said. “We are working with Kenya to promote areas where we think it will flourish – tourism and ICT.”

The lab was officially launched a day after East African developers pitched their mobile app ideas to judges in the Pivot25 mobile app developer contest held in Nairobi. You can read our earlier post on the contest here.

In addition to East Africa’s m-lab, the World Bank also aims to roll out m-labs in South Africa, Armenia, Pakistan and Vietnam.

The most exciting mobile apps from Africa

Will Mutua
On February 25, 2013

The following is a guest post by Rudy De Waele, CEO & Founder of Nyota Media. The article is based on a slideshow which is a result of his company Nyota Media‘s latest research and in-depth analysis of the African mobile market focusing on the most progressive Sub-Saharan countries. Included are lots of statistics on mobile and 3G penetration, the elements coming together to create a healthy ecosystem and examples of innovative local entrepreneurs who are creating new greenfield opportunities with mobile across the continent.

I started investigating mobile in Africa, in early 2010, which resulted in the Mobile Trends 2020 Africa document I curated together with Ken Banks and Erik Hersman, and presented at The Next Web Conference in 2011.

Mobile Opportunities in Africa – Engaging with the Next Billion from Rudy De Waele

As with all online presentations without video, you will never catch the real context of a talk just based on the slides, so I’m summarising some of the key points of my talk in this post.

In this presentation, I’m not covering the obvious Mobile Money, mGovernment or mHealth apps, but here is a quick overview of apps in more commercial areas like Social Media, Content and mCommerce to show you the entrepreneurial vibe and potential currently happening on the continent using mobile technology.

Following are some of the most exciting apps I mentioned in this document mainly in Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria.

At Nyota Media we keep up to date on the latest research in order to understand all different SSA markets and we shall publish more reports to help local African entrepreneurs with more visibility and growth, as part of what we do with Nyota Media.

As my co-founding partner and Director of Communications at Nyota Media, Shaheera Asante points out.

“We understand the complex process of sector penetration that international companies face in trying to effectively engage with the fast-paced growth in technology across sub-Saharan Africa, and on the other side of the coin, we are now servicing new African based enterprises looking to utlise mobile technology to improve multiple sectors for growth within Africa.

I am passionate in my daily dialogue and communication to local entreprenurs that its important to focus on identifying a local problem, thinking up a local solution to it using innovation – as Africans we must be makers of technology, not only users of it. At Nyota Media its our ethos to make sure there is a better understanding that whatever works, from job-creation, skills enhancement to effective communication – the social and economic benefits must be in Africa’s next generations’ benefit, with economic success trickling around the continent and not only out of it”.

Interesting Mobile Apps
Social Media
In Africa, there’s more than just Facebook and Twitter, some social networks & tools are popping up driving huge user traffic. Mxit, Africa’s largest social network has over 50 million users and is by far the widest reaching mobile advertising medium in South Africa and beyond. Cool start-ups hitting right in a user need can go quickly to a million or millions of users in a couple of weeks. In many cases, they are already funded or are getting funded or bought by larger companies.

Motribe: Easily build a mobile social network. Released MxPix photo app in June 2012 with over 1 million users. Founded in Cape Town, August 2010.

biNu: Turns most phones into a smartphone by providing easy access to Internet based apps and services. Founded in Sydney, Australia.

Saya: Brings SMS-like messaging to low-end devices. Founded in Ghana, August 2011.

Content

Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world in terms of number of annual film productions, placing it ahead of the United States and behind the Indian film industry. Nigeria has a US$ 250 million movie industry, churning out some 200 videos for the home video market every month.

Afrinolly: Watch trailers of movies produced in the African movie markets. Winner of Android Developer Challenge, 2011.

Deezer: Download music to your mobile device or computer, and then listen to your music offline. Founded in France, 2007 and focusing on French-speaking markets.

Streemio: Allows you to listen to unlimited music – anytime, anywhere. Similar to Deezer, but founded in Ghana, December 2011. To be launched yet.

Spinlet: Brings media distribution to emerging markets in Africa. Headquarters in San Francisco and offices in Lagos, Nigeria and Tampere, Finland.

simfy: Streaming music service that allows for offline listening available in South Africa.

Zikify: Stream East African music from anywhere. Founded by five Ugandans, early 2012.

Pashash: Allows users to share real-world shopping finds. Winner of the 2012 Start-up World Cup. Based in Cape Town.

Education
Worldreader gives kids in the developing world access to digital books. Using e?readers loaded with thousands of local and international e-books, the non-profit provides children the books they want and need. Note that in many African area’s kids don’t have access to books at all, that’s why this solution has a lot of potential knowing that tablet devices become cheaper and cheaper very year.

As of June 2012, they’ve put over 220,000 e-books - and the life-changing, power-creating ideas contained within them – into the hands of 1,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa. Those children now read more, read better, and are improving their communities. Worldreader has running projects in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

Tablets
Nigeria’s Saheed Adepoju is the inventor of the Inye; a tablet computer designed for the African market funded the project with £40,000 from his parents. The ENCIPHER key selling point is its price – $350 as opposed to around $700 for an iPad. The system runs on Android.

Congo based start-up VMK launched its own tablet with pretty impressive hardware last year. It easily betters some of the cheaper tablets available in the UK. The company’s solution is a homegrown tablet that offers a better quality to price ratio, designed locally, that will be available to a greater percentage of Africa’s population than an imported device. Note that in many African countries there are huge taxes on imported devices.

Conclusion
Looking at the size of the African continent and its population, the numbers and fast growth are impressive, the continent is as big as India, US, China and Europe put together.

There is so much potential with mobile on this continent, the important factors to accelerate things are in place; investments in technology and infrastructure, a new generation of young African entrepreneurs taking their future in their own hands, and are willing to partner with international business to create a better life for African citizens.

Lots of Greenfield opportunities in many areas, with increased job creation as a result.

Africa is not the future, Africa is now!

East Africa is way ahead!
-------------------------------------------
The Best African Mobile Apps: iCow
The Best African Mobile Apps: iCow

More than ever before, technology is transforming Africa and unlocking its potential. As the rest of the world leapfrogs in technological innovation, African software developers are doing the same. They’re creating ground-breaking, cutting-edge mobile technologies to solve African problems in communities closest to them. The Best African Mobile Apps will be a regular feature in which I will profile the best mobile apps from Africa – just like iCow.

In 2010 the U.S Department of State sponsored Apps 4 Africa, an East African regional competition designed to highlight the talent of local developers and to leverage the power of mobile technology to help solve some of Africa’s most nagging problems. The region has a lot of savvy developers and tech geeks, so as expected, several hundred applications flowed in.

The winning App was iCow- the world’s first mobile phone cow calendar!

So, what is iCow?

iCow is an SMS (text message) and voice-based mobile phone application for small-scale dairy farmers in Kenya. It’s something of a virtual veterinary midwife, helping farmers track the estrus stages of their cows, while giving them valuable tips on cow breeding, animal nutrition, milk production efficiency and gestation. Each text message costs about 10 Kenyan shillings, or 10 U.S. cents.

According to iCow’s website, the app “Prompts farmers on vital days of cows gestation period; helps farmers find the nearest vet and AI providers; collects and stores farmer milk and breeding records and sends farmers best dairy practices.” The text messages and voice prompts are sent to customers within the 365-day cow cycle, and the app is designed to run on both low-end and high-end mobile phones.

It’s pretty easy to get on to iCow. Farmers first register for the app on their phones by sending a message to a phone number. See here. Afterwards, the farmers key in important information about their cows, such as expected calving date and the weight of the cow. The farmers then start receiving timely and tailored messages, advice and information.

iCow aims to reduce cow mortality rates, produce healthier and more robust calves, and ultimately provide improved financial returns for the farmers.

iCow officially launched operations in June this year. In the past two months, thousands of farmers across Kenya have already downloaded the App.

“The wonderful thing with iCow is that by the time you have used the app and adhered to all the instructions, your cows end up healthier, bigger and stronger. They can easily fetch you more money in the marketplace. Every smart farmer will use iCow,” said Kariuki Githinji, a small-scale farmer based in Nyeri , a mid-sized town in the central highlands of Kenya.

iCow intends to spread it wings to neighboring East African countries, and maybe someday, iCow might go global. Maybe.

Rwandan designs mobile app to market social life
By In2EastAfrica Reporter

A Rwandan living in Germany has built a mobile phone application that markets Rwanda’s lifestyle hotspots.

Sangwa Rwabuhihi
Sangwa Rwabuhihi

Sangwa Rwabuhihi said the application, called StyleGuide Afropolitan, features all the showbiz happening around Rwanda, with detailed information about location, theme and schedule.

“It also shows a user all the best lifestyle places located in one’s area, from restaurants to fashion shops and nightclubs,” said Sangwa, a software engineering student.

Application aides

The application, which was officially released yesterday, can be downloaded from Google Play for people using phones and tablets that use the Android operating system.

Google Play is a digital application distribution platform for Android and an online electronics store developed and maintained by Google, while Android is an operating system designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as Smartphones and tablet computers.

“As of now, this is purely a Rwandan application with features of what happens in Rwanda, but with a continental ambition,” added Sangwa.

The New Times’ Edwin Musoni interviewed Rwabuhihi.

Below are the excerpts.

TNT: Tell us about yourself?

SR: My name is Sangwa Rwabuhihi, I live in Stuttgart, Germany, and I work for Mercedes-Benz in IT process modeling while complete my masters in software engineering.

TNT: You are said to be the first Rwandan to build stylist mobile application, is that true?

SR: Yes, after some experience working on apps and touch screen user interfaces, I decided with two of my colleagues to launch Hino Designs, that specialises in designing user experiences for touch screens, desktop and mobile apps. We also own apps that we manage ourselves, and the first one, which we published on May 5, is StyleGuide Afropolitan.

TNT: What is StyleGuide Afropolitan?

SR: It is a tablet and Smartphone app that serves as a guide to Afropolitans.

Afropolitan combines the words African and cosmopolitan to describe a contemporary generation of Africans. Africans are proud of their roots, and their lifestyle is a combination of influences.

The desire to express our identities as can be found in the way we dress, we think and interact with our world. StyleGuide Afropolitan is an app that comes at the dawn of this incredible African renaissance, a time where the very definition of the word “lifestyle” is being redefined by us for ourselves. StyleGuide Afropolitan will take you to those events and places that are the forefront of this fascinating transformation.

TNT: How exactly does it work and what does it feature?

SR: I have to say that as of now this is purely a Rwandan application with features of what happens in Rwanda with a continental ambition. Whether you are a frequent traveler or a local resident, this app should be your daily companion in any major African city. It basically answers three questions; what are the events happening around you? What places are worth being discovered, here we mean restaurants, cafes, shops and nightclubs, for instance; and finally how should I dress in terms of the fashion standards and codes?

Instead of offering long listings, we make sure we select few events and places that really match the Afropolitan mindset.

The app is intuitive and extremely easy to use. Beyond the two sections “Events”

and “Places”, the third section “Styles” offers you daily fashion tips under the subsection “Today” as well as local fashion standards and codes under the subsection “Basics”.

Our team of contributors is made up of fashion professionals and bloggers. The interesting thing about the app is that you don’t need to select a country or a city, it is automatically updated as soon as you land in Libreville or in Nairobi or any other African city.

Keep in mind that a mobile app does not offer you as much information as a website, but it is very much practical since it makes you access quick, updated and reliable information you can go through in less than five minutes. If you do have a tablet, I would say it is the best way to start your day, with a glass of fresh juice

TNT: How much did you invest in creating this application?

SR: Well, the good thing about software is that, it costs you more effort than financial resources. There are certainly costs for registering the app in the Google Play Store and costs for servers, but it is much more a matter of time you invest. The tricky part with apps today, is that you need to make sure your interface is okay for all screen sizes, and all orientations (both portrait and landscape) that can definitely cost a couple of sleepless nights.

Otherwise, we have to deal with a lot of organisational issues; we are currently building a network of contributors all over the continent, and developing dozens of partnerships.

Language is also an issue since the app is built in English but we need to have it in French, Portuguese and Arabic as well to reach out to the entire Africa. The interesting part is, we have a Kinyarwanda version but my wish would be to have Swahili, Hausa or Yoruba– these are our first languages.

TNT: Who have been your major partners in realising this?

SR: I can only say that we are currently completing deals with major actors in the entertainment and lifestyle business. Sponsored adverts are welcome to the app, in different formats, and they will be indicated as such.

At the end of the day, it is important for us to keep some level of independence in our choices. We don’t want to offer you a listing of only the restaurants which have paid to be posted, but also those that really match our philosophy and these restaurants are not necessarily those which have the most money to spend on advertisement/marketing.

We rely for the moment on our contributors and different other sources, but we would like in the long term to have professionals working with us.

Wouldn’t you prefer to have the opinion of a chef to help you chose a good restaurant? We don’t want to be just another business directory.

TNT: How did you come up with the idea, basically what inspired you?

SR: The African continent is going through an incredible economic and cultural renaissance. I like to think that we now have three identities: the one of our own country, an “African identity” and a global identity.

I insist on differentiating our countries. I think we are too often using the terms “African fashion” or “African food” in a very simplistic way. Wax prints? oh that’s Africa! Ask people in Ethiopia if they wear that.

Ethiopian fashion is not Senegalese fashion. And, generally, these very general concepts are stopping people from doing real research, and you end up having everyone designing the same and call it African.

Don’t get me wrong, I love wax prints and they are good for mainstream fashion that can be exported outside Africa, but I believe we can go beyond that.

I was born in Senegal, which is in West Africa; I later grew up in Cameroon, Central Africa, before living in Rwanda, East Africa. I can remember going from one country to another and it was a challenging experience, a lot was different. I was also lucky to travel to 10 other African countries, including South Africa and Algeria, so I guess I have covered most regions and that was always a different experience.

I guess that’s what inspired me to create an app that is at the same time country- specific, “African” and global.

TNT : What does it require for someone to use this application?

SR: All you need to have is a Smartphone or a tablet running on Android. Most devices besides Blackberrys and Apple products do run with Android. We are considering versions for these other platforms for sometime this summer but we can’t announce anything more specific at this moment.

I highly recommend everyone the app on a tablet, the user interface experience is much superior, as you can see on our screenshots. This is most probably the first Rwandan tablet app, in the sense that it was designed with a special consideration for tablets.

TNT: Have you had any assistance or response or encouragement coming from Rwanda?

SR: The media and entertainment professionals in Rwanda that we have been talking to are excited about this, and I am confident the sponsorship deals we are negotiating will be successful.

Like I said, we are interested in working with professionals of the lifestyle and entertainment scene in the near future, especially professionals in gastronomy.

Rwandan fashion designers are also welcome to work with us to promote their latest creations, as they can reach with us, a much broader audience on the continent.

TNT: when will the app be functional and what did it take you to have it listed on Google Play Store?

SR: The app shall be released on May 5 [yesterday] in the Google Play Store, which is the new name for the Android Market.

All you need is to open the “Play Store” app on your device, and in enter StyleGuide Afropolitan the search textbox; it should be there to be downloaded. For all our frequent travellers, please keep in mind that the app will only work in Rwanda for the month of May.

From June, a couple of other countries of the region will be activated. We should have a gradual evolution in terms of the content, as it takes time to obtain reliable sources and build networks outside Rwanda.

We really want user feedback to guide our next releases. None of the famous apps we know today was built in one day, so there will be improvements and I am confident our users will be part of the experience.

I actually wanted to mention that Kenya was put on a map through, among other things, such apps as M-Pesa and Ushaidi, it is time for Rwanda to have apps with a pan-African ambition, I hope StyleGuide Afropolitan will open the doors for more such Rwandan initiatives.

The 5 Most Innovative African Apps of 2012

Posted on December 29, 2012 07:43 am under Innovation & Science, Mobile, On Demand, Security, Social Media, Tech
mobile-cockpit-logo-square
VENTURES AFRICA - In 2012 developers produced a wide variety of new applications, with the African consumer base in particular gaining a range of new communications, professional and entertainment apps to freshen up the mobile user experience.

Blackberry Messenger 7

Research in Motion (RIM) this year launched the latest version of the Blackberry messaging app, which now allows users to make free voice calls to Blackberry Messenger contacts across the world via a Wi-Fi connection; in an upgrade the original text-based messaging app. Blackberry Messenger 7 also features a split-screen multi-tasking option, for more efficient device use.

Mobile Cockpit

Princeton Telecom this year announced the West African launch of its new app Mobile Cockpit – the business solution set to enable business owners to run professional programmes on their smartphones, as well as providing a range of features such as real estate and job classifieds, and a social network to name but a few of the unique innovations. The app is to be available on Android, Blackberry and iOS smartphones in the first months of 2013.

Afrinolly

This year Nigerian movie app Afrinolly made significant progress, ramping up its user base and announcing its expansion to new devices including iOS and Windows handsets and tablets. The app – which is currently exclusive to MTN Nigeria users – lets users watch trailers for African-produced movies, with a focus on Nigerian “Nollywood” movies, as well as music videos and comedy productions.

Form +

This year 3 students from the University of Lagos became the winners of Google’s Apps Developer Challenge, thanks to their innovation – known as Form +. The application is an easy to use drag-and-drop interface which allows users to produce Curriculum Vitae (CVs), feedback and submission forms, as well as use the app for a host of data-collection purposes.

Tough Jungle

Tough Jungle is the brainchild of Gerald Kibugi, the winner of the inaugural Vodafone App Star Challenge which took place this year taking nominations from across Africa and the Middle East. The Kenyan inspired action adventure gaming app features the culture, history, imagery and wildlife of the East African country with players navigating landmines and dangerous animals across “18 levels of fun”, according to Kibugi.

My point to be exact, don't do what Ghana Radio, TV and Movie industry has done to our quality of life. It has degraded to the abyss, because of the excessive liberties granted quacks, thus leading to cheap stupid music, absolutely ignorant and primitive movies, and a free for all shouting bout on TWI-RADIO.

Please no free for all in this contest. Give an African an inch and they will take a mile backwards. We need sophisticated Africans (Ghanaians) to offer us exclusive and competitive edge in African tastes, not always picking shitty stuff our ancestors left thousands of years ago and pretend we all have to adhere to such worthless denigrating values.
Yes I like the idea and we can do it, but for heavens sakes, don't believe that any and everything that looks refined and pristine is only for white people. Be futuristic, and don't leave all the fun to the white kids to explore. The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the trees are green. Why does everything African have to be RED YELLOW GREEN ? or with Kente motif? In Ghana, if you design anything and do not wrap it in a RYG Ghana flag, you are useless or not appreciated. Just wait and review the sort of APP's our modern day youth are going to come out with. I shudder to think...
