The 2002 Hafkin Prize was awarded to Schoolnet
Namibia with Bridges.org as runner-up on 7 November 2002 in Addis
Ababa.
Note from the winner:
'We are very excited and honoured by the award
- APC Hafkin Prize 2002 - and the impact we trust this significant
award will have on our further work in Namibia and further afield;
importantly it comes at a time when a lot of attention has been
given to Open Source solutions in education and other CSO development
areas, and I can only hope that our government (and those of other
African countries) will appreciate the great value of such Open
Source solutions! We intend to use the prize to seed a start-up
Open Source R&D team comprising young African "geek", empowering
them and subsequent youthful local expertise to develope open source
applications in education - curricular content, life-long learning
skills, distance learning and special education needs of persons
with disabilities.
On behalf of the Board of Governors of SchoolNet
Namibia, I would would also like to express SchoolNet Namibia's
deep appreciation of APC and its alliance of partners in recognising
our efforts here in Namibia! Viva APC and all the many wonderful
CSOs pushing back ICT frontiers in Africa!'
