ict@innovation featured in UNCTAD’s new Information Economy Report – Africa Launch with FOSSFA
November 29, 2012 in Freedom to innovate, News on publications, Open Source & Africa, Open Source IT business
Great news: Yesterday, UNCTAD launched its latest Information Economy Report. Free and Open Source Software is discussed extensively in this years’ edition, which has a focus on “The Software Industry and Developing Countries”. Also great news: the FOSSFA/GIZ capacity building programme ict@innovation is featured prominently, both in the report and at its Africa launch, which was held yesterday at the United Nations Conference Center in Addis, at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. The embargo has been lifted on the document and I recommend its reading to all FOSS activists and businesses.
Congrats to everyone, who has been steering those processes in the past year! Cheers, Balthas
