Faith-based social-networking site sets up in Sierra Leone

24.07.2009
A faith-based social-networking site targeting 2.5 billion Christians across the globe will operate from Sierra Leone, according to Ann Norman of Norman Communications, the firm that will help

build its operations center.

 

Though according to global management consultants AT Kearney Sierra Leone is not one of the best destinations for providing outsourcing activities, Norman said in an e-mail: "We strategically chose to develop this center in Freetown, Sierra Leone based on my experience there as the National Communications Consultant."

 

Norman, who formerly led Sierra Leone's national communications strategy while she was a consultant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), recommended Sierra Leone as a prime location for the operations center.
