Thoughts from a UK Minister

Despite his full schedule during his visit to Tanzania, Stephen O’Brien – the Parliamenary Undersecretary of State of DFID - requested a meeting with MEDA for a presentation and demonstration of the eVoucher project. Being born in the region of Mtwara and having worked on maternal health prior to his posting at DFID, projects such as eVoucher hold a special place in his heart. He quickly understood our program goals, challenges and way forward, offering us the following encouragement:

I’m always looking for the next M-PESA and eVoucher could be it.”

Through the intense demands of the past few months, it was more than rewarding to hear these affirmations from Stephen O’Brien himself.
