The iHub hasn't received any money for the Akirachix, and we have no access to these funds. From my understanding, the $492k is actually split between multiple organizations in different countries in something around $50k chunks (not sure on the exact numbers), which means there are 9-10 of them. The only funds that have come from the WB/infoDev through the iHub are for the buildout and operations of the m:lab downstairs and a research project done by Jessica and team.

I googled further on the Akirachix WorldBank P122163 USD 490,000 grant but can only find that M-Farm Akirachix received USD 35,000 as a grant from InfoDev on Feb2011 through the iHub. Anyone have a breakdown of the balance of USD 455,000? Was it given to iHub or is it retained by the Min of Info for further projects by Akirachix?
