Of course you are absolutely right saying that web2fordev should not only be focussed on the field of rural development. In fact the focal point of the upcoming conference are the possibilities that Web2.0 provides for actors in the area of rural and agricultural development and natural resource management. This is determined by two points: 1. this focus was not set before and 2. the mandate of many organising partners. That does not imply that only themes connected to rural development will occur on the conference schedule nor that connecting efforts should be limited to rural areas. The organisers of the Web2ForDev conference (to which this blog is connected) just set a frame and we invite everybody to share his knowledge, questions and experiences in the wide field of web2fordev.
