We have Code4Kenya as a pilot and great deal learned. We’re embarking on Code4SA and Code4Ghana with some support from AMI. We need to start in other E African countries so help convening stakeholders and mobilizing the community in these countries for a country-level initiative would be great. It takes financial resources to make this happen, paying developers, fellows and providing access to some services like EC2 based sandboxes. So at least $1m in funding over the next year to make it a reality. AMI has committed and we are looking for others to join in.
