The new 2009 year. Okay, yes, I am 26 days later than I should be in writing that note but better late than never. After dealing with the nuisance of my jinxed car and having a most wonderful surf holiday in Durban and Jeffrey's Bay, it is back to the research work. A very exciting year ahead especially since our initiative will be planning a big all-Partners shindig on ICT4D in Africa come October 2009! I hope to use this space to detail a bit of the interesting research that has been coming out of Africa most lately on international development through technology. In the meanwhile...
Women's Net and
Cell-Life both based here in South Africa are asking initiatives that deal with HIV/AIDS to tell them about their innovative practice of using social networking tools in their work. They are conducting an interesting study of how social networking will change the way people communicate about issues about HIV/AIDS.
To the year ahead...
