Exciting news that USAID supports MIT and global partners with up to $25 Million over five years for a tag-team effort, the D-Lab-run IDIN -- the International Development Innovation Network...
"A consortium of universities around the world to establish and nurture a global network of local innovators using technology to address issues facing people living in poverty."
And the DUSP-run CITE -- the Comprehensive Initiative on Technology Evaluation...
"MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning will lead the CITE effort in developing a rigorous methodology for evaluating technological solutions to challenges in the developing world; this methodology will help donors and policy-makers identify and invest in the best of these solutions."
