Google's Eric Schmidt Sees Nairobi as Africa's Technology Leader

blog_ihub.jpg



After a week of traveling around sub-Saharan Africa, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt saw what he thinks could be the continent's technology leader: Nairobi, Kenya's capital.

"Nairobi has emerged as a serious tech hub and may become the African leader," he said in a post on Google+ yesterday. Rwanda is "a jewel with a terrible past" and Nigeria has an "international image problem."

But Kenya, with relatively stable politics and the British legal system, attracts foreign investment with fewer problems, he wrote.

Like the rest of Africa, Kenya is being transformed by mobile technology. Coffee shops display a code so people can make a purchase using a text message. It's also how people pay their rent. In his post, Schmidt pointed out M-Pesa, a mobile payment service backed by Safaricom, the biggest carrier in Kenya.

Entrepreneurs in Nairobi said Schmidt visited the iHub, a startup co-working space that has taken over a couple of floors of a mall there, to meet a dozen companies.

"His questions were very sharp, as one would expect, on the local market and he was impressed by what some of the local startups like Kopo Kopo, SafariDesk and eLimu were doing," said Erik Hersman, a Kenyan entrepreneur, in an e-mail.

Kopo Kopo is a startup that makes it easier for businesses to accept money via text message. SafariDesk helps plan East African vacations, and eLimu makes a computer tablet for Kenyans in primary school to use.

"Google already has a very strong focus in Kenya," Schmidt said. Mobile connectivity is the biggest thing Africa has going for it, he said. "The Internet in Africa will primarily be a mobile one," he said in his post. "Information is power, and more information means more choices."

Africa's youth can avoid being taken advantage of through corruption or militarism by spreading information and connecting with it, Schmidt said.

One test of his thesis will be Kenya's March elections, which citizens fear will erupt into violence. In 2007, more than a thousand were killed and hundreds of thousands were displaced from their homes after the elections.

"If they manage to get through the upcoming March elections without significant conflict, they will grow quickly," Schmidt wrote.

The Stockholm Environment Institute is moving its African headquarters from Tanzania to Nairobi, tripling its staff number:


SEI Africa Centre moves to Nairobi
SEI International
28 June 2013

Five years ago, SEI established a centre in Tanzania – at the Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es Salaam – to support closer collaboration with African networks and organizations on issues including water and sanitation, agriculture, and energy.

Now, seeking to expand its presence in the region, SEI Africa will relocate to Nairobi, Kenya, joining the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) on its campus in Gigiri.

"Being in Nairobi will mean we are closer to a greater number of stakeholders and potential partners," said Stacey Noel, Director of the Africa Centre. "Nairobi is a focal point for international and regional research organisations, and also hosts a large UN campus and the offices of many key donors."

"We are all energized by the prospect of new challenges and eager to continue our work on sustainable development in Africa, but isn't easy to leave Dar es Salaam after five good years," added Noel.

SEI Africa will consolidate its research under four key themes, aimed at tackling the most pressing challenges of sustainable development in Africa: climate change adaptation; sustainable energy; agricultural growth, livelihoods and rural development; and urbanization.

Nyie wavivu sana kufanya kazi, nenda kwenye mashirika yenye wakenya hapa Tanzania utakuta wabongo wanalia lia eti wanaonewa! mmekalia uvivu tu
Naungana na wewe asilimia zote pamoja na kua mimi ni Mtanzania, sijaona nchi yenye wavivu kama hii, wamekalia mapenzi tu na kupenda starehe mapema hata kabla ya kufanya kazi, sasa kila sekta ni upiizi tu, kuanzia viongozi wa serikali hadi chini kabisa hadi kwenye elimi ni ovyo tu, bongo bna!!
 
Kenya walianza na head start kwenye race hii ya maendeleo kama unajua historia vizuri. 1963 kenya ilikua na wasomi wengi zaidi, sekta ya kilimo iliyoendelea zaidi, wawekezaji wengi zaidi,population iliyojazana sehemu chache kama bonde la ufa, ukingo wa mashariki na katikati (mt Kenya) hivyo ikawa rahisi kwa serikali kuwafikia watu wake na kuweka misingi ya maendelao ikiwemo miundo mbinu, afya, shule n.k, elimu ya kenya shule kama Alliance, Starehe n.k zilibaki na walimu na chini ya waingereza na hivyo kushawishi uboreshaji wa elimu ya msingi na sekondari nchini kenya....kingine Kenyatta hakufukuza wazungu aliwaaacha japo akahamisha uchumi mikononi mwa wazawa wakikuyu sana sana na hii imefaidisha

tofauti na Tanzania 1961 hatukuwa na wasomi kama kenya, sekta ya kilimo cha mkulima mmoja mmoja na jembe lake apate mlo (peasant farming), hamna wawekezaji, mfumo wa elimu yetu haikua nzuri kama Kenya, wananchi walikua wametapakaa kila kona toka mtwara hadi kigoma mpka kagera na hivyo kuipa gharama kubwa sana serikali kuwafikia wananchi kwa ufanisi tofauti na kenya na Nyerere hakurithi wazungu (sisi hatukua koloni kama kenya ila UN British mandate na hivyo waingereza hawakuona umuhimu wa kuwekeza na kuanzisha settler economy hapa Tanganyika)...vile vile siasa za baada ya hapo zikawa nyingi kuliko ukuzaji uchumi.
 
Lakini kwa maoni mengine head start pekee yake kwenye mbio haitoshi na jinsi unavyomaliza hizo mbio siyo unavyoanza..Tanzania ina potential sana ya kua economic giant wa East, central africa.. nafikiri tunahitaji kaushindi ka CDM hapo 2015 kuweka agenda ya maendeleo na nguvu katika mikonjo ya mwananchi ili wanasiasa waanze kudeliver muda wa siasa umepitwa na wakati, CDM wakiharibu toa hapo 2020 tunaweka chama kingine...citizen's empowerment kama hii imesaidia kidogo Kenya
