There's a pretty cool mini series running over at ONE at the moment titled 'Digital Africa'. They're showcasing the latest innovations in technology helping in the fight against poverty across the African continent. If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll know that this is an area I'm particularly interested in.
The series started recently and there are just a few articles on there at the moment. If you have a look now, you'll find posts about the impact of technology in Africa, providing banking solutions for rural areas and and even one about an app for tracking cows. The rate at which new technology is springing up is amazing, particularly in the mobile phone area. Mobile penetration in Africa has been making big news over the past two years or so, and the solutions that African people (and indeed people all over the world) are coming up with to address African problems are a testament to this.
In the next five or ten years, who knows where we'll be? These are exciting times.
