We are pleased to participate in Social Media Week 2013,
scheduled February 17-22 in Washington to showcase our use of digital
space for development. USAID will host several events during the week to
contribute to the conversation and highlight how we rely on technology
for a multitude of reasons, including program management and reporting,
and general educational purposes for a range of projects, funded by
USAID.
As our development partners, we’d like to invite you to showcase your work in using social media for development through video at our #Popcorn + International Development
event on February 22. This is a special opportunity for you to amplify a
program you are proud of, or one which you feel deserves a louder voice
in the public.
