Dadamac - a genuinely 21st century organisation

Description:

Dadamac is a bit like a dating agency. We introduce people/organisations and help them collaborate, despite physical distance and cultural differences. The Internet is not an "add-on" for us - we could not exist without it. We are based in UK and in Africa.

Dadamac grows organically - so what you bring will influence how we develop. We intend to provide an efficient, cost-effective alternative to 20th century "top -down" models of "development". Our assets include a direct communication channel that is way ahead of the norm for rural Africa, a tremendous person-to-person grassroots network, and enormous social capital. Thanks to our use of the Internet and high-trust relationships we offer genuine two-way exchanges of knowledge and ideas between people at the grass-roots and people who are policy makers, funding agents, volunteers, philanthropists, researchers, entrepreneurs and so on. We also have places and people to run projects on the ground.

We need help to become visible. Dadamac's track record is based on voluntary effort - but when we do get paid work we'll build our team from people we know and trust. Meanwhile there is interesting, worthwhile stuff to be done at Dadamac (in Beckenham or online) and you can practice your skills, showcase your talents, and network.

Brief description: Work experience - sorry no money yet - but genuine opportunity for personal development - interesting and worthwhile

Interests: Very wide - clustering around ICT, knowledge management, Development, education, enterprise, networking, marketing, teambuilding.
