Rotisserie Question
Share any “ICT for Development” project that YOU have been either involved in or heard/read about. (Please feel free to select any of the projects we have discussed or mentioned during the series if you need some inspiration). What are the contours of the project? What are its aims and objectives, and how is it working to achieve them? Are you impressed by the project and do you believe in its approach? If so, why? If not, why? Could you place this project in the context of the approaches this Series has highlighted? What are the complementary projects, if any, that the success of your chosen project relies on? What are the legal, political and cultural hurdles that have been overcome and still need to be overcome for the success of the project?
