Abstract
The project became a pilot for face-to-face workshops, developing and maintaining a knowledge base regarding wireless for ICT4D, while building partnerships and knowledge networks. The demand for training was enormous, with every workshop over-subscribed. A parallel resource was developed during the course of the project, the ‘Wireless for Development Book.’ The goal of the initiative was to empower communities and individuals in Africa in harnessing information communications technologies for development and social change through the use of wireless technologies.
