average is 5 times as high 2 g. networks of the most widespread across sub-saharan africa now they're increasingly being replaced by 3 g. in 5 years more than 60 percent of connections could be made with 3 g. but in the 1st of 4 g. networks should reach 23 percent of users the latest super fast 5 g. technology is likely to reach only 3 percent and be restricted to a few large cities. large variations in internet access are not only apparent between rural areas and the cities but between different regions as well southern africa is best served with 50 percent internet coverage west africa is 39 percent east africans have 27 percent central africa has only 12 percent. mobile network construction in sub-saharan africa is frequently a sluggish affair high levels of poverty is a cause in some countries but bad decision making also compounds the problems the

sectors international association the g.s. may says there's often a lack of network construction right where it's most urgently needed in cities for instance. he joins us now from london your group paints a fairly rosy picture of sub-saharan africa's growth potential when i look at that the numbers are way behind the rest of the world. yeah thanks for having me ben yes we have seen the last. green properly in the region yesterday it lags global average growth rate it's coming from him to please me because the region has a large proportion of pollution in rural areas and many of these people are still very much. not covered by mobile networks and you also have the issue of what it believed to be for the poorest people you know in the population who are unable to

to afford to buy seeds or to afford mobile services you know we have to in the last few years is the move out industry working together partnership with governments. to come up with solutions you know make services more affordable for do those who need them most and are not able to afford the said he says when provided by compressional. you say it comes from a lower such a low base therefore i expected the growth rates would be much higher especially considering that economic growth rates in many african countries are really amazing in comparison to the rest of the world what is this like a catch 22 because people are suppose they can't buy a smartphone without a smartphone. advancing yourself as an entrepreneur or a farmer using tech is impossible. yes well so intense stuff.

actually us right the region is growing faster than any other region in the waltzer between now and 2025 unique source but growth will be nearly 5 percent you know compared to less than 2 percent in other more developed and highly saturated market however when you check the penetration rates it's to be looked at the percentage was spotted 4 percent unique source penetration and it ended up to 2018 if you only rise to 50 percent by 2025 the reason i will see is buckley because of the region's demographic makeup book cover it let me just break but in there. is it what what are the solutions that you're coming up with what are the innovative solutions that industry is coming up with to solve these problems ok so yes of innovative solutions if you dig up what it billeted for example smartphones generally are above you know

a $100.00 price point which is not affordable for almost a pool in the region however our house in that some will operators like m.t.n. and orange in the region have come up with an end and initiates it with us you know to come up with $20.00 much each up once. this is pretty much you know at a price point more people in the region can afford and it is expected that such initiatives you know will begin to drive all the optics of global asset he says in the region we're also seeing renewable energy solutions to connect based group areas that are currently not that electricity grid you know so poorly do should also you know extend infrastructure co-create you know to do those regions and set pieces to people who meet their os well ok that sounds promising or collective thank you very much for joining us there from london. thank you for having me. one of the in use most proud of chaves men's is freedom of movement the right to live

and work anywhere in the block but it doesn't guarantee you a decent job some laborers turn to illegal work even though the paper can be pretty pathetic. it's 5 30 in the morning in buffalo to on the outskirts of rome this is where day laborers wait for someone to offer them work most of them from rumania. van pulls over. one of the men climbs in discreet you course the police could show up any minute. here to stay behind and keep on waiting most of the time in vain basically from struction sector is in crisis petrik under annoy you had no luck finding work this morning is unlucky streak has lasted for over a week now. the automobile i knew but i'm off the

books employers prefer that so they can avoid paying taxes insurance. they would rather take you as an undeclared worker sometimes i don't get paid at all when you pay tomorrow. and then you never show up again. if you're not going to be a gamble money oh well like the 63 year old world it has been trying his hand here for years but with less and less success he says a while ago his wife left him with their 2 children. since then he's been living at the edge of the city in this makeshift cut. every evening petra goes to bed early. you have to wake up at 430 if you want the chance of getting any work tomorrow. god what a curse of life this is. patrick andriano you was looking for a better life when he set out from romania to italy many years ago this is where he

used to live in the village of s. now now his house is abandoned his family has moved away many other houses stand empty here the village appears deserted the local bar is the only place left with a bit of life in it here they remember their former neighbor great john they said there was no point staying here now he's earning his daily bread and everything else he needs. to go great comeback being a fake but i think it's better to stay here on our romanian fields at least here you can get some cheap cheese even if romania is poor. he said. back in rome. like every morning patrick and renault use up early driven by the hope of earning a few euros today. there are tech solutions for almost everything these days even

for farmers hit by cattle theft but ever thought about just texting your cow. with their distinctive home to bucks zebu cattle are a common sight in rural madagascar they are vital to the malagasy economy zebu can be sold at market for as much as $300.00 u.s. dollars a lot of money given that 3 quarters of the population here live on less than $2.00 a day the animals also provide transport in a country whose infrastructure network is underdeveloped. but cattle theft is a major scourge once a relatively accepted cultural practice has developed into an extremely violent organized crime armed bandits known as the hollow are increasingly terrorizing communities here in the region in the center of the country police say $26.00 civilians and a police officer were killed last year alone during cattle raids. sound . when the hollow attack on many of our friends have been killed including members

of our own family my little brother was killed by the local he suffered from it gone shot wounds the hollow don't distinguish their fire on everyone including women and children. in the times of the fathers of the total good things. could this little capsule help combat the problem the g.p.s. device which the cow swallows and which can identify its location wherever it goes over ever it is taken. bungle love is one of 3 regions which have been selected for a 3 month test phase during which $10000.00 elektra chips will be inserted in cattle the chip remains active for 7 years or until the animal dies. in 440 or. when it's stolen we can find the location of the zebu thanks to the software. we send a text to find out the geographic details of where the zebu is. the chips and

feedback loops and then answer to us and we use these details in the software to find out on the map where exactly the zebu is that the time or like your plane. who . it is hope the test fares will ultimately lead to a long term solution to what has become something of a national epidemic. police are less convinced though they said they lack the basic resources to fight crime in the country civil society groups counter that some police are themselves involved in cattle theft experts said the chip cannot fall out and does not harm the zebu but whether or not it will ultimately make them any safer in the field of madagascar remains to be seen. as long as they don't put those capsules in us history business was to.
