| ABOUT THE WEBINARThe Digital Matatus Project is iconic today for leveraging mobile technology to collect data for an essential yet informal infrastructure in a developing country like Kenya, giving it out for free, and in the process, encouraging government and private sector stakeholders to develop better channels for easy access to information. The journey has been a long one, but not without challenges. WRI India invites you to join Digital Matatus Project co-founder Adam White as he shares his experiences, and highlights learnings that can be replicated in other cities of the Global South.
Date: Thu, Dec 14, 2017
Time: 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM IST
