What real world problem could be solved or improved with IT
Hi everyone! I’m a final-year Information Technology student in Sierra Leone currently looking for a dissertation topic.
I’m interested in identifying real-world problems in Sierra Leone or any where possible that could realistically be improved or solved through an IT-based solution such as a software/web/mobile system, database, IoT, networking, automation, or potentially AI.
I’m not necessarily looking for AI-specific ideas. I’m more interested in genuine problems that organizations, institutions, businesses, communities, or individuals in Sierra Leone currently face, where there is a clear gap that technology could help address.
Ideally, the problem should be realistic for a group of final-year IT students to research, design, and potentially develop a prototype/system for.
What are some real problems you’ve personally noticed in Sierra Leone that you think could be solved or improved through technology?
I’d especially appreciate specific examples rather than generic ideas like “build an app for X.”
