This is the twenty-fifth and final episode of our podcast based on the vignettes contributed by friends and colleagues to Tim Unwin’s new book Digital Technologies in an Unequal World: An Empancipatory Manfesto. In it, Tim Unwin provides a summary of his perspectives on leading *Imfundo: Partnership for IT in Education* between 2001 and 2004 in the UK’s Department for International Development, and asks why, despite Imfundo making al of its information and lessons learnt available online and in hard copy, so many digital tech for development initiatives still tend to start again from scratch instead of drawing on the experiences of previous such interventions
The full vignette can be listened to here.
All audio files relating to the book are also available on our podcast with a new episode every week.
Tim is the Catalyst of the ICT4D Collective, and Emeritus Professor of Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London, and was the editor of ***ICT4D: Information and Communication Technology for Development*** (Cambridge University Press, 2009) and author of ***Reclaiming Information and Communication Technologies for Development***, (Oxford University Press, 2017).
