Harambee - Reinforcing African Voices through Collaborative Processes
http://www.harambeeafrica.net/

APC-Africa-Women is one of the Focus Networks of the Harambee project. We are currently busy with an exciting project to increase member participation in the AAW network and consequently increase the benefits of being a member. We are busy creating shared online spaces to enable members to more easily meet, share and collaborate with other members.

The first step is a skills audit to collect member information in relation to what skills exist among our members; what areas of skills and capacity members want to develop.

Other aspects are:

A story-telling component where we will interview AAW members for their ICT stories.

Country-based meetings where possible for AAW members who live in cities meet face-to-face and create a social and learning space to promote member interaction.

Private, interactive and facilitated member spaces on the new (soon to be launched) AAW website using blogs, flickr space etc.

Members able to upload and update their information on the website (skills, experience, news, activities) which can be accessed by a wider community.

We will introduce AAW members to new online networking tools and facilitate the production of new knowledge through this process and to highlight the creative and innovative uses of ICTs by AAW members.
