Diaspora ICT skills will make a difference in AfricaSubmitted by Boko on 3 June, 2006 - 02:59.
This blog supplies some interesting statistics that appear to contradict this pervasive intuition that diaspora amounts to denoument and death of a society; "...Diaspora on average contribute 5-10% of some African countries Gross Domestic Product and in a few cases over 20%. In a year alone it is estimated that the Diaspora invest over US$ 450 million, this excludes the estimated US$ 12 billion remittances sent by the Diaspora annually..." And in response to the above blog, I had said: "Diaspora investments tickles me to the very core -- in a positive way, that is :-) More on this Diaspora debate... No doubt that ICT skills will make a difference in Africa because it is growing well and making country more stronger then ever, lots of people are engaging in this business one of my friend who was doing 350-018 certification went there last year now doing a good business, ICT is biggest sector there and lots of our friends who are doing 000-071 certification are willing to visit the SSA countries for this and i am going to join them after my HP2-T11 certification exams may we can have something special for the people of SSA countries and economy.

For now, information flows in trickles, but as soon as we start hitting critical mass in the frequency and volume of information flow, then knowledge uptake increases, education will become richer, more dynamic and more purposeful. And then we should begin to see more progressive and sophisticated indigenous knowledge-based systems as well as much more empowered technology societies of SSA.
