Join the 2008 USAID Development 2.0 Challenge

Posted by webb on Oct 15, 2008

As Katrin Verclas posted last week, the 2008 USAID Development 2.0 has launched.  The challenge is seeking innovative mobile technology projects.

Hosted on the NetSquared community site, you are invited to submitt your project idea to a community process:

  1. You will have an opportunity to submit your idea and receive feedback from NetSquared's 13,000 members.
  2. When the submission period ends, registered NetSquared users can partiicpate in an on-line vote to select 15 featured projects.
  3. Senior USAID staff will select  a first place and two runners up.  The first place winner will receive a grant of $10,000, with runners up receiving grants of $5,000 each.  All three will have an opportunity to present their ideas to senior officials and the public.

To find out more about the challenge and, we hope, enter your idea, please visit: 2008 USAID Development 2.0 has launched. We look forward to seeing what you are working on.
