Presenting on potential of Big Data at the Malawi Internet Governance Forum

The Malawi Internet Governance Forum (MIGF) is a multi-stakeholder forum that has been held since 2014 to discuss issues of Internet governance that affect Malawi and the region as a whole. Malawi Internet Governance Forum was established in 2014. It adheres to the principles of the global Internet Governance Forum, along with all other national and regional IGFs

Earlier this morning, Logos Open Culture, through Mutisunge Michael Etter-Phoya, presented on the possibilities of harnessing Big Data on the Malawi landscape. Etter-Phoya started by expounding on the 4 Vs of Big Data: Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity. He then went on to emphasise on the importance of harnessing data in the first place, noting that most of industries that could benefit from interoperability in Malawi are not doing so.
