San Francisco--(Business Wire)-- The new study on how technology’s power can transform the lives of the poor has been recently published. W. Robert de Jongh, Regional Director of SNV in Latin America, was one of the experts invited to contribute to the one year-long project.
While it’s understood that technology will shape and possibly revolutionize the futures of developing nations in the years to come, inevitably there will be many new and unforeseen paths and turns throughout the journey. But, without a clearly defined destination, how can organizations devoted to improving living standards and livelihoods throughout the developing world position themselves to identify and spread technologies that improve lives in poor communities?
That is the question that the Rockefeller Foundation asked Global Business Network (GBN), a member of the Monitor Group, to help it explore using scenario planning. On May 25, the results of this year-long collaboration were published in a joint report, titled, “The Future of Technology and International Development.”
