Nongovernment organizations across sub-Saharan Africa are set to benefit from the NGOConnect Africa portal launched at Microsoft’s South African headquarters last month.
The portal allows NGOs, the government and the private sector to form partnerships and share best practices and case studies.
The project was initiated through consultation with over 400 NGOs across Southern Africa as part of a broader NGO capacity-building drive by Microsoft, said Heather Third, Microsoft’s director of citizenship and strategy for Africa, via e-mail.
Microsoft remains a key player as the founding partner of the project, which is managed by Potential Africa, she added.
Third called NGOConnect Africa “a platform for collaboration and learning, without the barriers of geography or socioeconomic barriers.”
The project has support from many organizations, including the Microsoft NGO ICT4D Academy partners, specifically AED, the Aga Khan Foundation, EduNova, Enablis, Learn to Earn, Women’s Net and others.
