ASC Seminar: Africa’s digital dividend - mapping the shift from tech transfer to indigenous innovati

Popular accounts of contemporary Africa south of the Sahara remain dominated by reports of disaster, disease and mayhem. While the terror attacks in Nigeria and Kenya and the Ebola outbreaks in West and East Africa demand the world’s attention, these narratives of African failure co-exist and co-evolve with emerging narratives of African success. In this ASC seminar, Gregg Pascal Zachary will chart the spread of digital technologies in contemporary Africa, describing the current shift from pure absorption of Euro-American digital technologies to the rise of home-grown, indigenous innovation activities in computing and communications.
