N2Y2 Con: Kabissa 2.0: Space for Change in Africa Intro Presentation

Kabissa 2.0: Space for Change in Africa is a Featured Project at the 2nd NetSquared Conference.

Project Summary

Through this project, we will develop a strong network of African technology activists and advocates who can effectively take advantage of the many possibilities Web 2.0 has to offer. We will recruit twenty key partners throughout the continent who are very motivated to serve as "Web 2.0 ambassadors" for their local communities where they already work as well as to the larger Kabissa community of civil society organizations throughout Africa.

Together with our partners, we will develop a shared understanding of how Web 2.0 technologies work, their application to the Kabissa community, and how they can be used by different types of African civil society organizations working in different environments. Kabissa will support these partners in applying these lessons to their own organizations, but also to the larger community, creating a viral spread of tech-activism throughout African civil society.

Kabissa - Space for Change in Africa was founded on the belief that technology is a revolutionary force for change in Africa.
