On this page, I will be sharing updates, discoveries and observations from analysing the collected findings on this journey. These would be interpreted through brief reports and visualizations. Find below some works in progress.
University Born Ventures in West Africa: This is part of a larger study on development ventures in the West African sub-region. I work with the guidance of Joost Bonsen to uncover the support mechanisms that facilitate entrepreneurial growth in universities and the role or extracurricular activities, competitions and the like on innovation in such contexts.
Journalism on Technology in Developing Countries: Visit the Time Magazine website or CNN, BBC, DW and you would find that they have a dedicated section for technology. Visit the website of a local media house in a developing country and majority of them don’t have technology segments. Is there a link between the level of reporting that is done on technology and the level of technology related activities in a country?
I worked with a friend to scrape a few websites in Ghana to observe how they report on technology. Working to expand that to a number of countries in West Africa and to compare the findings with websites of news agencies from some developed countries.
