Comments on: The Case for Connectivity (part 1) https://whiteafrican.com/2018/12/10/the-case-for-connectivity-part-1/ Where Africa and Technology Collide! Fri, 21 Dec 2018 15:55:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.24 By: jke https://whiteafrican.com/2018/12/10/the-case-for-connectivity-part-1/#comment-19370 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 04:18:05 +0000 http://whiteafrican.com/?p=5828#comment-19370 Well, hardware internet connectivity is still sexier than water and sanitation, and in particular sanitation that goes beyond the pure provision of toilets. So please rest assured, there is a worse side when it comes to unattractive (but very necessary) businesses. 🙂

Is there any other way to raise an invest, maybe a method from the WASH sector that works there and maybe also works in other infrastructure projects like MOJA? Is there any way for a different approach, where the infrastructure costs are maybe crowdfunded or financed in another public approach so that the future users also feel more ownership for it? What comes after connectivity? Community?

As for connectivity as the main marketing hook: Yes, such a valid point. In WASH I would say it’s comfort/security (vs. the provision of toilets or building a sewer network/treatment plant – no one can relate to that but having a relief on the toilet is a feeling that is marketable), so in the end it comes down to selling emotions and maybe that is where Moja & the Choo biashara share something more than just being relative unattractive businesses (vs. any e-commerce startup).
