Last October, I blogged about the beginning of my blog coaching with the UK’s DFID Bloggers project, “staff blogs from the UK Department for International Development (DFID).” I’m part of Shane McCracken’s team at Gallomanor which has the contract, part of their CivicSurf project.
DFID was pleased with the results and expanded the project in January to include up to a dozen more bloggers in several more countries over the next few months.
Among the new bloggers in Africa who I’m coaching:
