Abstract
The conference provides a common platform for academic and industry partners to share ideas, present existing work, and guide future work. Academic work will be presented after a rigorous peer-review process that includes constructive feedback. Academic sessions will be interspersed with open industry-focussed discussion sessions, where invited industry partners will participate. Four keynote addresses will be delivered, aimed at setting the scene for, and provide focus to the discussions. Mobile ICT has proven to be a useful means of addressing many of Africa's challenges, and continues to produce novel ways to improve the lives of the many the continent's inhabitants. We would like to use this conference to showcase some of the research that goes towards this goal. To try to make the research even more relevant and to progress it to implementation, we have invited our industry partners and have given them a platform to highlight their needs.
