Overview : BACKGROUND / PROJECT DESCRIPTION UNDP and Motorola Solutions have joined forces to support social innovators and development practitioners in deploying and using mobile technologies to foster human development. One of the key activities of this partnership is to bring together social innovators and policy makers and provide a fora where they can meet and work together to jointly tackle pressing development priorities. To achieve these goals, the partners have launched the International Network of Social Innovators for Human Development (INSIHD).
