DESCRIPTION

Thanks to new technologies, now accessible also in remote places, development work - and development workers - have an increasing digital footprint. Quite litterally, what was invisible can now become visible, with major implications for aid effectiveness, transparency and fundraising. Being able to manage such footprint effectively and analyse it to identify emerging trends is going to be a differentiating skill in the Development 2.0 world. This presentations illustrates some key concepts, examples and tools that development organisations can use ti analyse and manager their digital footprint.
