USAID Launches Open Source Development 2.0 Challenge

[Posted October 15, 2008 by cook]

The U.S. Agency for International Development has announced the 2008 USAID Development 2.0 Challenge. "The Development 2.0 Challenge signals that USAID is responding to a shifting business and technology culture that goes by many names, including Web 2.0, inventive economics, wikinomics, or crowdsourcing. Just as online communities have changed the way business is done, USAID's open call for technology solutions seeks to improve the way international development is done." Grants of up to $10K will be awarded and submissions will be accepted from October 13 - December 5, 2008.
