New Employment Opportunity at Viamo

About Viamo

Mobile technology is transforming how businesses interact with their customers. More than 96% of the world’s population owns a mobile phone, making it feasible to contact practically everyone on the planet. Nonetheless, 3 billion individuals in emerging countries continue to lack access to relevant, accessible, and compelling information in their native languages, and their voices go unheard. Organizations serving them lack the technology and ability to reach them, and many are unaware of the power of mobile technology to achieve organizational goals.

Viamo uses digital technology to connect individuals and companies in order to make better decisions.

With over 35 million people reached in 2021 and over 4 million monthly active users, we are on track to accomplish our target of 100 million monthly active users by 2026.

We run the Viamo Platform, which includes the 321 Service, a nationwide toll-free public information service accessible by IVR (Interactive Voice Response). Anyone with a mobile phone in Ghana can receive information on issues such as health, agriculture, financial literacy, and more by dialing 321 from their Vodafone connection. Callers will use their phones to select from hundreds of recorded voice messages to assist them in making informed decisions and better their lives in a series of “listen, then choose” processes.
