Resego Morakanyane comes from Botswana, Southern Africa. I hold a BSc. Computer Science Degree and a Post-grad Diploma in Computer Studies Education with the University of Botswana. I am currently completing an MSc. Computer Information Systems Degree with the same university. As a student and a young researcher, I read more on Information Systems and their application as socio-economic development drivers and enablers. To that effect, I have developed interest and have been involved in some projects on issues of ICT for development. I have also written some position papers (academic and none academic) on the same issues. Some of my interests include: eHealth; eLearning; eGovernance; Digital inclusion for all;

Some of the work I have been involved in include:

- ICT Opportunities for all: Disability not inability - Telemedicine in Botswana - Protecting Children from Cyber Space - Community User Information Systems - Digital Inclusion Healthcare Solution in Botswana: Mobile phones used to Access HIV/AIDS Information - Representing Information for Semi Literate Communities - Empowering the Youth through use of ICTs - Improving Service Delivery through use of ICTs - among others

I have managed to work on these on my own or as a team at the university or at my current work place. I have worked for the university for about three years as a tutor at the same time watching and learning from lecturers through working with them on their projects. Currently I work for Botswana Technology Centre - a research and development institute which does research on areas of energy; electronics; ICT and built environment. With the development of Botswana's National ICT Policy, I hope to grow bigger in the field, get a PhD, be involved more in the implementation of Botswana's ICT Policy whilst at the same time keeping abreast with new trends and technologies that may be required to achieve ICTfor Development.
