Democratizing Development: How Technology is Disrupting Traditional Development Models
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 1:30 pm

We are no longer accepting RSVP's.  The event has reached full capacity. 

SID-Washington is proud to present this chapter event on technology and development.

For many years, development has been associated with a model where large loans and projects are negotiated between donor agencies and governments in developing countries.  Now, with the advance of information and communications technology, this model is being challenged.  The increasing prevalence of mobile phones, the internet, and online social networks is allowing new players (NGOs, voluntary associations and individual citizens) to not only voice their views but contribute their own time and money directly towards the development priority of their choice --- all without the need for donors or government agencies.
