I am interested in the role of free web-based and mobile technologies in contributing to grassroots development and human rights advocacy. I am the co-founder of www.DigiActive.org an organization dedicated to helping grassroots activists around the world use the Internet and mobile phones to increase their impact, by highlighting their successes, sharing best practices and fostering a community of people committed to studying and promoting digital activism. I have also coordinated several online campaigns successful in helping free prisoners of conscience. I regularly consult for international development organizations, the private sector, and non-profit organizations and keep a personal blog at www.afrinomad.com
