Project Description
 
mPedigree Network is a social enterprise working towards ending the trade of counterfeit products, such as agro-inputs and medicines, in Africa and Asia. They started in Ghana and have now expanded their social services to Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya and India (with pilots in 7 other countries). mPedigree has created a platform (www.goldkeys.net) which allows consumers to identify the authenticity of several sensitive products. For example, consumers are able to text the secure digits on their medicine to a short code, or scan a 2D barcode, and they receive a reply from mPedigree confirming the authenticity of the drug, in less than 20 seconds. mPedigree’s work has therefore saved lives by raising awareness on purchasing authentic goods such as medicine.
