An application which tracks the fertility of cows has won the first ever Apps 4 Africa competition to find new talent as smartphones become increasingly popular in Africa.
The competition, funded by the United States government, hoped to unite the brightest African developers with people who could benefit most from innovate mobile technology.
Launched back in July in Nairobi, the competition attracted 20 entrants - each offering a unique approach to improving life in the region.
Moo-bile innovation
The winner, announced this week, was iCow - an application that helps cow farmers maximise breeding potential by tracking the fertility cycle of their animals.
"It's a voice-based application, meaning they don't have to have a special smart-phone," explained Charles Kithika, the app's creator.
