Hey folks - I’m going to web2fordev in September and in the lead up to that am finalizing various outputs, including..
- A paper I have been working on for the University of Washington’s Evans School about Web 2.0 in African Civil Society and which will be published on the Kabissa Wiki
- An article about Kabissa and Web 2.0 for ICT Update
- A presentation to give at the web2fordev conference about Kabissa and Web 2.0
As part of this, I wanted to get an update from Kabissa members and others in African civil society about their use of blogging and other social networking tools - remarkably, there are not that many case studies available despite the clearly active use of these nifty new tools and the massive potential dangling out there.
So I wrote a post on the Kabissa blog inviting grassroots groups to share their stories and sent out a quick mailing to members to invite them to come check it out. It should be interesting so stay tuned. If you have some good stories and links to share, please do so!

Salama. We are currently in the process of running some pilot studies on the use of Web 2.0 in a rural village in Kenya. I would be more than willing to help with some content.
Asante sana.
