At the heart of the book is a powerful commitment to learning and using technology to change lives for the better.” —Tim Kelly, Lead Digital Development Specialist, World Bank “As a thought leader, Hanna has accumulated decades of on-the-ground experience pioneering digital transformation projects in economies around the world, the subject of several of his important books. In this culminating and highly-readable volume, he pulls those experiences together, sets them in the context of his life-long career with the Bank, and raises vital questions for every aid agency as we move deeper into the 21st century.” —Nigel Cameron, President Emeritus, Center for Policy on Emerging Technologies In this book, Nagy K.
