SocialAppHub

Apart from drastically reducing the barriers of everyday communication, mobile technology has proved to be an effective means of development. There are over 1.3 million apps available which have resulted in over 50 billion downloads. Only a very small percentage of these apps have been created for social good. The awareness of such apps amongst beneficiaries and general citizens is quite low. In addition, they are often hard to identify in the blitz of games and networking apps. There is also a lack of platforms providing knowledge resources for development organisation to encourage them to move towards automation and addressing social challenges by use of ICT based solutions.
