I haven’t posted much recently, and probably won’t be able to post much for the next week or so (blasted comprehensive exam and Fulbright paperwork), but I started my morning off right when I came across my colleague Gerard McCarthy’s new article on how AusAID could benefit from an institutional technology for development strategy.

Gerard’s article is particularly interesting for me since I’ll be working on tech for development policy in Samoa’s Ministry of Communications starting next month.  For other’s working in the Asia-Pacific Region, especially if you’re planning to work with the donor community in the region, I’d recommend giving this article a read.  It could spark some ideas, and gives a good assessment of where AusAID is in terms of supporting tech for development programming.
