Vast human potential is lost to inefficient health and education services, further entrenching inequality technology has the potential to revolutionise the lives of women, girls, men and boys. #PositiveDisruption

The inclusive digital revolution in health and education services won’t happen by chance. A commitment to include marginalised people is needed. Policymakers must be proactive to ensure healthy and better educated lives for all. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

Silver bullets aren’t the answer.
Technology isn’t the solution to all development problems, its use must be determined by need and circumstances. Smart changes are driven by people not technology alone. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

Technology can enhance human capacity. In the future, health and education workers’ roles may change - but they won’t become obsolete. Human skills such as judgement, initiative and empathy will instead become even more critical. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

Tech in developing countries is already having a positive impact creating effective, efficient & inclusive health & education services. Governments need to learn from the tech that delivers #SmartLives so people thrive in a digital age. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

Digital technology can bring down the walls of the clinic and the classroom. This transformation can amplify services so that barriers of distance and scarcity of specialised staff can be overcome. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

The fuel for #SmartLives? Data.
Data can drive decision-making, create positive feedback loops & enable personalised services. But for #PositiveDisruption governments must collect data with a goal in mind & invest in the data-processing infrastructure.

250 million school-aged children aren't in school while 330 million are in school but not learning. Education is no longer just about access, but quality. Tech can offer the potential for equitable, quality education for all. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

.@p4pcommission's visions are within reach & can transform developing countries' health & education services. Let's learn from Kenya's @TusomEarlyLit - a digitally enabled literacy programme - if scaled up can close the learning gap. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

.@p4pcommission's visions can transform developing countries' health & education services. Learn from Mali's @MusoHealth - health workers are reaching remote patients, reducing child mortality & using tech to amplify their success. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

A focus on the visible deployment of tech for tech's sake will fail to deliver better outcomes or better lives. Governments need to make prudent choices so that tech investments are sustainable, appropriate and of benefit to all. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption

The time is ripe to plan for scale and to bring considered digital technologies into health and education systems, so future generations can thrive. #PositiveDisruption bit.ly/positive-disruption
