I am a freelance consultant working on issues of technology and science for developing countries. I am interested in research and development programs, and the impact of information and communications technology. Substantively I have been working on the management of grants programs and on impact evaluation of the Internet. I work most frequently on programs that are global in scope, but I have also been working on African issues for the last several years, and in Brazil and Mexico in the late 1990s.
