A moment of discovery and awe. Angie and I are in Abu Dhabi for the Eye on Earth Summit. It has been a great conference so far, with a lot of discussion about greater access to environmental and social data for the conservation of the planet. What just happened a few moments ago left me and Angie speechless. We were at the technology showcase area speaking with different people who had questions about Ushahidi, its tools and uses around the world. Three gentlemen walked up, introduced themselves and we started talking about crowd sourcing. I was about to ask where they came from; and reading from the business cards they shared, they were from Afghanistan. As we talked a little more, they asked one question. The Nangahar Connect deployment, which crowd sources information on commodity prices of beef, veal, milk, corn, wheat[Commodities], labour prices, service prices etc.
When you get speechless about discovering something together, the thing you do is take a picture right? ChCh - DEVELOPMENT INSTANCE. Uchaguzi. ::: انت شاهد ::: Jan 30 Sudan.
