Government
Governments in West Africa face two key challenges when communicating with citizens: ensuring they reach the entire adult population and verifying the identity of people who may lack official documents (or an address).
But (almost) everyone has a phone. This makes the mobile an excellent channel through which to send alerts – and also a reliable source of identity.
This is why more and more government departments use Alchemy services to send important notices such as:
- "Your appointment is tomorrow at 9.30am"
- "It is safe to fish today"
- "Use this code to register"
Alchemy's government customers include:
- Department Of Fisheries
- Gambia Revenue Authority
- Ministry Of Health
- Gambia Fire and Rescue Services
