WHO IS AN eRIDER?
eRiders are roving technology consultants. We are Computer Experts, Trainers and Management Consultants as well as a Communication Strategists all wrapped up as one.
We are referred to as process consultants by virtue of our approach of ‘taking one through the process of,’ as opposed to ‘doing for’ by the conventional consultant, when it comes to problem solving.
Guided by values and ethics the eRiders perform their duties on a one to one basis with NGOs by assisting each one to develop and implement ICT strategies tailored to its unique aims, needs and context.
WHY eRIDING?
Also known as ‘circuit riding’ in the US, plays an important role in the developing world by using eRiders to assist organisations use resources more efficiently to better serve their missions and achieve their objectives as well as spreading technological knowledge to areas where it is needed most. The primary aim of eRiding is to assist the organisation.
- Understand the potential value of ICTs
- Integrate ICTs into their program work
- Enhance their ICT component in management
Why NGOs?
