ChangeWaves will be facilitating two brainstorming sessions — “What aid and development is helpful, and what is not helpful? Identifying key needs, and more effective solutions” and “What Unique Strengths Africa and Africans can Contribute to the World?” — at the Technology for Education in Developing Countries Conference in Kampala.
The goal of this international workshop is to bring together researchers, businesses, educators, governmental and non-governmental organizations to discuss various issues involved in developing new techniques and on novel uses of technology for innovation and education in developing countries. A 2007 World Bank Report titled Building Knowledge Economies: Advanced Strategies for Development, states that the four key drivers for successful knowledge economies in the 21st Century are education, information technology infrastructure, research and development focused on innovation, and a free market based economy.
The conference will feature a unique combination of academics, community outreach, and connection with nature. ChangeWaves is proud to participate.
