ITNewsAfrica collaborates with USAID
Johannesburg-based ICT publication, ITNewsAfrica and the United States Agency for International Development's (USAID) Global Broadband and Innovations portal have entered into a knowledge and resource sharing agreement, whereby ITNewsAfrica will contribute local and African news articles to the USAID's GBI web portal.
In return, staff writers for USAID's GBI portal will also submit articles to be published on IT News Africa, which will be distinctly African in flavour, although written from an American and international perspective.
USAID's GBI program has been designed to focus the agency's attention and resources on leveraging the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) across its development portfolio. The GBI programs' focus includes connectivity, mobile and innovations and implementation of the GBI program includes an IQC with Integra LLC and a Cooperative Agreement with NetHope.
