LOCAL SUMMITS

While The Global Summit unites our global community, local communities are where the most vital innovations, relevant ideas, and critical knowledge come from. By sourcing what works locally, and sharing it world-wide, Local Summits are a mechanism to exchange solutions, ideas and appropriate technologies within and between participating communities.

In the first African Local Summit April 2012, The Global Summit community access partner, The Needs Report gathered citizen input into the issues that mattered most to their communities via cell phone voting.
