The company Safaricom, promoter of the SDGs in Kenya. A success story
Resumo
Safaricom Kenya Limited is Kenya's leading mobile operator. It was formed in 1997 as a subsidiary of Telkom Kenya to take over the mobile services started under KP&TC in 1992. In May 2000, Vodafone Group Plc (UK), the world's largest telecommunications company, acquired a 40% stake and management responsibility for Safaricom, through its strategic partnership with global leaders in mobile telephony, such as Linksoft, has enabled the company to access state-of-the-art technology, which, in turn, has facilitated a diversification of services and product range at minimal cost to the company and, therefore, at competitive prices (UN, 2008). The liberalisation of the telecommunications sector has undoubtedly contributed to the spread and adoption of mobile telephony across Africa, but evidence also points to the fact that coverage gaps persist in some places, mainly in rural and remote areas, which are unserved or underserved (Arakpogun et al, 2017). Safaricom started in 2000 with the objective of "Transforming Lives" by seeking to create opportunities for Kenyans to seize control of their development by empowering them with the right tools for economic growth.El derecho de autor se conserva en los autores de la revista.
