This is a great overview of some of the big tech interventions in SSA--thank you for sharing! Did you hear about the I-Hub in Nairobi? Do you know, by any chance, how it compares to JoziHub? Also, I'm very interested in the notion of South-South flows of ideas, but I wonder if you think that South --> North flows could be useful too. M-PESA-esque ideas are being tried out for Mexican workers in the US to send remittances home at a much cheaper cost, and innovations such as Conditional Cash Transfers and microfinance have def. traveled up from the South. Would love to hear what you think!Christina G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10410511751244501226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520904763520245316.post-2137650981092800842014-04-22T11:24:50.045-07:002014-04-22T11:24:50.045-07:00Great post Sidee!
