Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) & Hivos
Partners: Southern
African eRider Network
Ungana-Afrika received a three year grant
from OSISA and Hivos
to expand the eRiding model in the Southern African region (new
countries include Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Angola
and DRC). In these countries Ungana-Afrika will first conduct
incubation workshops that are aimed at introducing eRiding to
non-profits, SMEs, education institutions and government.
In countries where workshops have been implemented Ungana-Afrika will
identify and sub-grant an in-country partner to conduct a feasibility
of the eRiding model. Potential in-country parties are encouraged to
contact Ungana-Afrika.
The project is a part of an Incubation
Program which is based
on the expertise that Ungana-Afrika has built by helping other
development organisations to understand and implement eRiding as a new
model to address cross-cutting ICT needs of non-profits in their own
countries. This expertise comes from a roll-out of workshops, training
and consultancy in South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe,
Swaziland, and Senegal.
