Congratulations to Paradigm Initiative Nigeria, the wide-ranging social enterprise dedicated to increasing ICT skills and capacity for economic development in Nigeria, for being named one of this year's Global Social Enterprise Incubator (GSBI) recipients. GSBI is a fully funded, 12-month program of online learning and mentoring, including a two-week in-residence summer "boot camp" on Santa Clara University's mission campus. The program and the recognition it provides should help PIN increase its capabilities to serve youth in Nigeria and garner necessary support from government, NGO and commercial partners.
I had the pleasure of speaking to PIN's executive director, 'Gbenga Sesan, last summer and profiled the organization in Young World Rising as one of the finest examples of creating public-private-NGO partnerships around ICT.
