This has been made possible after a mobile telephone platform was developed and launched by a consortium of four non-governmental organisations based in Mandera. “This is one of the achievements of the Boresha cross border project, a mobile information platform designed to support business operators with essential information,” said Mr Abdirizack Hassan, the Boresha Mandera Business Development Coordinator. VALUABLE INFORMATIONAdvertisementAccording to Mr Hassan, the mobile information platform will offer valuable business, weather and health related information to traders. He said the platform was developed following a research that showed that most traders lacked information on the market prices of commodities. A trader with any type of mobile phone will access both health and business information free of charge just by dialling *384*55#.
