The concept of Global Corporate Citizenship as recenlty elaborated by Prof Schwab at the last Davos Summit should be adopted by private business organizations in developing countries. Efforts should be made by them to adopt the BOP principles in tackling health, educational and social problems in these regions.

How do we make the people in developing countries have access to the global goods of ICTs. There are many ways to achieve this but having access to a computer is surely an important one.
A solution to achieve this is probably a business one. An emerging trend is the low-cost technologies concept that is currently exemplified by the “low-cost laptops” projects. This trend catalyzed by Nicholas Negroponte's OLPC has started a revolution just within three years of its inception. OLPC, an educational open source project for school children in developing countries has encouraged commercial successes such as the Asus Eee PC and the Intel Classmate. At my last count there are over 20 low-cost laptop projects in the pipe-line. Even MNCs such as Sony, Dell and Acer have joined the race to serve the BOP market.
I believe that every single individual in this world should have a personal access to the internet, and low-cost laptops I believe should this possible. Even if everybody cannot afford one at the current prices ($200-$400), professionals like health workers in developing countries hitherto unable to access medical research material for patient care should be able to afford to buy one.
But in order to achieve the goal of one-laptop for everyone, efforts should be applied to drive more product, pricing and process innovations so that they can become more affordable.

I wonder if you will be interested to work together in way or the other on divers projects in Africa for the benefit of low income people.

Best Regards,

May I crave your indulgence towards providing your perspective on this long question:

What’s your advice to someone, who has been doing so much to propagate BoP in his environment (please click on http://www.iroy.in/category/business/markets-for-poor/  for insight), which has a population of more than 112 million poor people; government officials/institutions contacted on adoption of the concept are either ignorant or don’t care about it; prospective local private sector ventures lack sectoral motivation; and it’s very likely that most related business models will succeed in the place?

I anticipate your early response.

Anie Anokuru
