The meeting at the Royal Holloway University of London, UK ended well. Have also returned home safely.

Some follow up activities are planned including members of the network organising a workshop at the eLearning Africa, Ghana in May 2008. Preceding this, members of the network plan to organise some pre-conference activities.

These activities include:

1. A one-day Seminar on the 27th May, 2008 at the University of Education, Winneba (www.uew.edu.gh) . This will present reports of a group research to be carried out in Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique and the UK on the Public-Private Partnerships in ICT4D. It will attempt to take a look at the extent of involvement of the private sector institutions in ICT4D in these countries.

2. Another one-day parallel workshop (same 27th May, 2008) on the development and uploading of online educational resources will be held at the Winneba Open Digital Village (www.opendigitalvillage.org) in Winneba.. With this in mind, we intend to have discussions with the FLOSS4EDU Inintiative (www.wikieducator.org/FLOSS4Edu) and WikiEducator (www.wikieducator.org) Project team both supported by the Commonwealth of Learning, Canada (www.col.org); and oneVillage Foundation-Ghana Management to provide some form of support for the training session.

When more of this is formalised, we will make them available on the partnership website - http://www.gg.rhul.ac.uk/ict4d/delphe.html - and on the events page of the Simap Open Summits site here - http://www.simpasummits.net/eventsmain.php.

Thanks.
