The first social network for the base of the pyramid

iBoP Asia

A warm hello to everyone!

I'd like to share some stuff about iBoP Asia, a project that was launched by the Ateneo School of Government last June. Done in partnership with Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC CRDI), this project, of which I am a part of, would like to promote and enable the development of technologies, processes and policies that will facilitate the base of the pyramid's engagement in and access to S&T products and services. We just had a call for proposals for our grants competition last August, and we received 50 project proposals from 5 ASEAN countries. We'll be announcing the final line-up of this year's grantees soon. Will keep you posted. :)
