I agree with you on the first point. I however do not fully agree with you on the NGO argument. NGOs are just another channel of stakeholders in the development landscape. They need to be managed, negotiated with and understood. NGOs have played a big part in funding kenyan innovation hubs. There is a whole market of funded tech projects through resources like www.fundsforngos.org . East African guys are harvesting these and their humanitarian and tech industries are benefiting from that. Just like every partner, NGOs, governments and private companies have agendas, The point is to understand the agenda and manage the risk when engaging a partner. Keep up the good work that gets techies from Zim engaging in the wide subject of technology.
