The use of ICT and collaborative communications and social networking are offering new possibilities from a continent that has been characterised as the 'silent continent' because so little of what Africa has to say reaches beyond limited local audiences. Building on a long career in publishing, I am interested in how we can break out of the models of scarce and expensive print resources, to the more abundant world of open and collaborative online communications. And, most particularly, how can we make this work for Africa, rather than relying on global communications traditions that are not geared to African needs.
