ICTP 009: Leading from behind to effect change in the Caribbean’s ICT space, with Yacine Khelladi - a podcast by ICT Pulse - tech blog and podcast

Change can be achieved when you lead from in front, but also when you lead from behind, as is the case with CIVIC, the Caribbean ICT Stakeholders Virtual Community. Here, Michele Marius chats with the group’s moderator, Yacine Khelladi, to learn how CIVIC has become such an integral part of the region’s ICT/tech scene, along with his thoughts on the affordability of Internet service in the Caribbean, and why Open Data in the region is not as developed as it should be.

Also, let's hear from you on two questions posed during the discussion:

1. Why isn’t civil society in the English-speaking Caribbean as developed, or as engaged, in discussions on important issues generally, and more specifically, with respect to telecoms and ICT?
2. What happened to the Open Data/knowledge management platform that was being implemented in Barbados? Was it successfully rolled out? Was it abandoned?
