Re: [liberationtech] Information about US tech-related foreign aid?
I know that USIP has just started a PeaceTech initiative that provides tech-related foreign aid for peacebuilding. You can look up their PeaceTech camps in Iraq (and soon in other locations). I believe the initiative has come out of the Science, Technology and Peacebuilding innovation centre at USIP: http://www.usip.org/programs/centers/science-technology-and-peacebuilding Hope that helps.
