   The contribution of web2.0 tools for development
   especially in Rural Agricultural Development in Africa cannot be over emphasised.The use of Participatory
   Videos(PVs) for instance is an effective way of
   capturing and sharing farmer-based experiences.Reproducing this in a vlog is a perfect way of promoting Development using web2.0 tools .These
   processes have been found to greatly improve farmer
   documentation in most part of Africa and in particular
   Uganda.Eventhough there may be challenges in terms of
   cost in procuring web2.0 tools especially Digital
   Cameras, the most important and effective tools and
   sometimes the issue of connectivity, there is a great
   potential for web2.0 tools as a catalyst for improving
   development not only in Africa but also in most part
   of the world for rural Agricultural Development.

   IC Collaboration Must Begin with Dialog!

   I think the USD/I (General Clapper) sees a lack of collaboration as one of the biggest challenges facing the IC/MI. It is what motivated the powers that be to give him his dual role as Defense Intelligence Director and why his office is co-sponsoring the big IC conference that will take place in New Orleans this August where the goal will be to get decision makers and warfighters in the same room with analysts and requirements and collections managers for some open and honest dialog. If they are successful, it could be a watershed moment that just might result in better collaboration. The conference is aptly named “Synergy ’07.” Go to www.ncsi.com.
