Abuja Volunteer

I've just returned to London after working as an IT advisor in Nigeria for VSO / GTZ (VSO = voluntary service overseas, GTZ = German Agency for Technical Co-operation). The subject of the blog is my experiences in international development.

postive action from the UK Government

The decision that UK taxpayers should stop subsidising this trade is very welcome.
