Telecoms as a Catalyst for Development in Afghanistan
Mon 8 November 2010
Engineering, Department of
Mobile technology is a catalyst for economic growth and social development. This is needed more than ever in Afghanistan, a country devastated by decades of conflict, as it undergoes the rebuilding process.
Speaker Karim Khoja’s involvement in Afghanistan’s telecommunications sector began in 2002 as a volunteer consultant in an initiative to install the nationwide private communications infrastructure. In 2003, Mr Khoja was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Roshan. Under his leadership, the company has grown to be Afghanistan’s largest mobile provider, and has contributed to the nation’s reconstruction and socio-economic development. Mr Khoja is also Chairman of the Board of the Afghan Investment Climate Facility (AICF) and an advisor to the GSMA Development Fund.
This event is co-hosted by the Humanitarian Centre and Judge Business School. It is part of a themed year on ICT4D (ICT for Development) run by the Humanitarian Centre in partnership with ARM.
