Great video about ICT in developing world

You may recall that a few months ago I visited Nairobi, Kenya. While I was there I checked out some of the amazing projects that relate to the crucial role of ICT and development. I was really impressed with the ability of ICT to open up new opportunities - even in the poorest areas of the developing world. Ahead of the European Development Days, here’s a cool video showing some of what I learned there.

You can also watch on my YouTube channel a couple of shorter videos, also based on the same trip: the first about e-Learning - how ICT is used to train medical professionals in a country plagued by meagre resources, malaria and HIV; and a second about how ICT is expanding horizons in even the poorest schools.
