• DCI 5.0 Theme

  Theme: Africa's Underdevelopment - Digital Citizens Talk Back

  Our aim is to closely look at how the development story is being told by digital citizens who often give a voice to communities that would otherwise not be heard and expose deals that may be against their interests.

  We focus on three themes touching on questions of Africa’s underdevelopment - 1) the exploitation of Africa’s rich natural resources, 2) responses to natural disasters and the potential impact of climate change, and 3) debates about the development benefits of mega events such as the 2010 World Cup – to understand the role of digital citizens in disseminating the voice of Africa’s citizens.

  The DCI showcases successful projects as ‘best practice’, with the intention of ensuring that DCI participants can integrate these practices into their daily lives.

  The DCI will also include case studies where online and mobile media have been used to disseminate crucial information about natural resources and disasters. The importance of citizen-based media in addressing climate change and mega events will also be explored.

• Digital Citizen Indaba Info

  The annual Digital Citizen Indaba takes place in Grahamstown, South Africa and is open to all citizens who try to empower themselves using new media technologies.

  The DCI tries to enable this empowerment to take place through participation in debate about the state of digital media, information sharing and skills transfer using experts in the field.
