Review

"I am using GISWatch in a course I am convening on development communications at Wits University."
- GISWatch Review
"GW raises awareness on ICT policy processes on local, regional and global levels. Gives the creative input of a civil society perspective."
- Rozalia Klara Bako, StrawberryNet Foundation and Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Romania
"Nobody, within its own very busy work, could monitor all topics in all region. GISWatch is the nearest tool to achieve such a goal in the Internet world."
