I said exactly same thing to a philanthropy organisation but was canceled. It's people, process, technology!
There is no digital without analog. There is no internet, cloud, and magical money transfers without cables, ships, and people. A lesson for Africa. Digitization will come only after real value is created. Digitization, by and large, is an efficiency innovation

🔍 Looking for #ICT4D geeks to brainstorm with. It's such a lonely world – some get policies & development 📘, others understand tech 💻. Rare to find people who get both! Let’s connect. #TechForGood #Collaboration

Proof of why I cherish development. With #CfE, we dared to innovate, sought impact. I took #CfE home, tested it with Mariam, my nanny. From computer newbie to ace - 6 modules, emailing, Word docs, even a typing champ! 🚀 Beyond PR, it's life-changing, worth the hype. 💥
