Hello Jalang'o,
Are knowledgeable on African issues? If yes, then join the African Policy Forum where young and talented minds are needed to brainstorm of African policies and related issues such as alternative development measures. It is a think-tank forum on African policy, and the good think is you get to meet and network with policy makers and other experts.
Here is the link to the forum: http://africanpolicy.ning.com/
