Nairobi. Kenya’s rising profile as an innovation hub in the global software scene has been bolstered after a local developer won the just concluded World Bank Applications (apps) for Development challenge.
Edging out a field of more than 107 entries from 36 countries, Athman Ali managed to clinch an award in the competition, which aimed to push developers to create software solutions that can be used to solve development issues around the world. “We recognised we don’t have a monopoly on innovation.
These apps clearly demonstrate how the software development community can harness technology to analyse and tackle some of the world’s long-standing problems,” said World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick. (Kui Kinyanjui)

Your right! lakini kwa mfumo wetu huu wa shule wa kukariri tutaweza kufanya hayo? angalia watu wanaomaliza computer science katika vyuo vyetu wanavyokaririshwa tu and they don't have apple time to practice their knowledge while their at school, eti watajifunzia kazini! inahitaji nguvu ya ziada kufanya hayo na kubadilisha mfumo wetu wa kusoma ili nasi tuwe INOVATOR vinginevyo tutaendelea kuwa watumiaji wazuri wa software na ubunifu wa wezetu, hatuwezi kuwa na wavumbuzi wa "face book,.....n.k". Tunahitaji kuufumua mfumo mzima wa ELIMU yetu kuanzia Nursery mpaka University na kubadili mind set zetu tusiangalie zaidi kufaulu mtihani tu. Tu intertain UFAHAMU zaidi na si kufaulu mtihani.
