CRS Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D), Nairobi 2010
Catholic Relief Services held a 2 day innovation conference in Nairobi to define an approach to improving the quality of their programming efforts through the use and extension of ICT solutions.
DataDyne was one of the organizations invited to show case our EpiSurveyor application to the participants. Unfortunately, a Cameroonian CRS team who were to give a presentation on their use of EpiSurveyor did not make it to Nairobi due to logistical problems.I would encourage all who are using EpiSurveyor in the field to share with us your stories.
