Digital Inclusion in an Unequal World (Episode 22) – Jamie Proctor on “The Right People, Building Things They Understand, and Striving to Deliver Directly for Citizens”

This is the twenty-second episode of our podcast based on the vignettes contributed by friends and colleagues to Tim Unwin’s new book Digital Technologies in an Unequal World: An Empancipatory Manfesto. In it, Jamie Proctor argues that “to serve the needs of the world’s poorest and most marginalised it is essential to systematise … changes towards multidisciplinary teams, delivering iteratively, with a focus on citizens. Otherwise, the potential benefits of digital technology in the public sector will never be realised”.

The full vignette can be read here.

All audio files relating to the book are also available on our podcast with a new episode every week.

Jamie’s background cuts across research, education and technology. He has worked in tech start-ups, across UK Government digital teams, and established a school construction NGO in Malawi. He wrote this contribution whilst seconded to EdTech Hub from FCDO, and maintains keen research interests in the development of climate resilient and sustainable school infrastructure.
