Despite the World Cup distractions (or perhaps fuelled in part by World Cup fever) 250 people have gathered this weekend at iHub for Barcamp Nairobi 2010. The event is being streamed live, as well as being live-tweeted via the #barcampnairobi hashtag. 

EAAG acknowledges that for philanthropy to grow and be vibrant in the region, all stakeholders must begin to speak to each other and reflect on the role that each one of them will play in making this noble vision a reality.

Nairobi and Geneva, 12 April 2010(WMO) – More than 30 Ministers in charge of meteorology in Africaresponded to the international call of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in partnership with the African Union, to meet for the first time. While the continent is the most vulnerable to climate change, Africais the least equipped to deal with its consequences.

As a fundraiser, it’s always great when you are offered an opportunity to network with other organisations and share ideas. That is what happened on Tuesday 6th of April when Marc Maxson of Global Giving hosted a workshop in Nairobi.

In the first week of February Mobile Web East Africa was held in Nairobi, well over 110 participants took part from all echelons of the mobile ecosystem, with the ICT4D sector particularly well represented.  Over the course of the two days there was a huge amount discussed and this would be a record breaking blog post if I were to repeat everything.  So rather than going down that route I wanted to direct Kabissa members to the two best sources of information from the event:

Africa Gathering: Sharing ideas for positive change.

What is Africa Gathering?
Africa Gathering, the event that brings technophiles, thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators and everybody else together to talk about positive change in sustainable development, technology, social networking, health, education, environment and good governance in Africa, is coming to Nairobi on 21st and 22nd December 2009.

Our goal is to help highlight all of the great work being done in the world by Africans and friends of Africa. We are even able to help budding innovators and entrepreneurs by putting the profits of our events in to some the projects that our attendees like the most, this way we live out our ideal of sustainability without charity.

As a result, by attending you are not only directly supporting some of Africa's most innovative entrepreneurs and innovators, you are able to meet, network and share ideas with them - helping build confidence and develop interest in Africa-focussed initiatives and businesses. Everyone can benefit from this enlightening experience.
