In the next couple of days, I will be working with Anne Nyambura in Somalia, and Ayo Kusamotu in Nigeria, to finish a draft of a plan we will submit to foundations and development banks for funding. Ayo has written on the IBO website about the liberating effects technology can have on the developing world, but potential is not enough. While many efforts are being made to focus the world’s attention on the wars and devastation in many parts of Africa, IBO’s role will be to bring the potential of technology to reduce poverty and create sustainable development opportunities in Africa to fruition. Our hope is that sustainable development trumps war every time. We will continue to inform you of our work, and we hope that many of you will offer to join our efforts in any way that you can.
