Africa or Bust

With the world focusing on South Africa in two summers for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, lets be mindful not to forget about neighboring Botswana. Often overlooked, Botswana is stepping up it's game by hosting one of the FP7 Training Workshops.

The FP7 Workshops are organized by IST-Africa Initiative, which is supported by the European Commission under the IST Programme of Framework Programme 6.

IST-Africa 2008 is the third in an Annual Conference Series which will bring together delegates from commercial, government & research organisations across Africa and from Europe, to bridge the Digital Divide by sharing knowledge, experience, lessons learnt and good practice.

Why is this important, because it's good to know that Botswana is bettering itself and getting involved in the digital space. That, and it's so random that you might just learn something about a country you didn't think existed.
