Abstract

What are your imaginations about using information technology as a tool to make lives better? In this presentation, I would like to share some international use cases of digital development, and my experience and interest in East Africa and social issues. Let’s think about how to use information technology to solve poverty alleviation, financial inclusion, healthcare, and global slavery problems together!
