Critical Commentary
AO: This blog post by Erik Hersman (co-founder of iHub) helps to outline why iHub was thinking of getting involved in supporting local research. It cites an important paper presented at ICTD 2010 by Shikoh Gitau, Kathleen Diga, and Paul Plantinga that noted how little of the ICTD work was being produced by Africans.
