Using the ICTs to promote the spirit of democracy and good governance in third world countries

Challenges Entered: 

More often third world countries suffer from a canker worm called longevity in power. Head of states in power in third world countries find very difficult to leave power for selfish reasons. This provokes the exponential growth of corruption, criminality and poverty in general. A country without good governance cannot experience progress in any aspect: • Social • Health • Education • Economic development • Human Rights • Sports etc.

Our strategy We will empower citizens to use social networks to get the problem solve with time. Each member of the network will be able to:

• Denounce all forms of bad governance (Electoral fraud, corruption etc.)

• Communicate with other citizens on democratic values and progress made in their different social sectors

Thank you for sharing your

Thank you for sharing your project, which I have added to my favorites on Netsquared. Can you also support Kabissa's project and give your feedback? We are a network connecting people and organizations for Africa - you are very welcome to also join Kabissa, an online platform where people and organizations working in Africa can showcase themselves and connect with each other for peer learning and information sharing. It would be great to have Environnement Sans Frontière participating in the Kabissa network. 

I am curious to learn how you plan to implement your project - can you give us more details? For inspiration you might want to look at some of the case studies in the Technology for Transparency Network. Good luck with your project! 

Warm regards, 

Tobias
