Looking at the recent high level ICT events that Malawi has attracted in the month of May, it is clear that Malawi is more than just a participant in Africa's ICT revolution. From IST-Africa to the Africa Regional Meeting on Digital health, Malawi is fast becoming a hub for innovation.
But as ICT4D stakeholders themselves put it, more support for research, more innovation hubs and partnerships are needed to foster scaling of innovative ideas from Malawi as well as to ensure standards and interoperability among ICT4D initiatives in the country.
