Many hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted by well
meaning philanthropists, aid agencies and governments in projects
to deploy ICT solutions in developing contexts. The very long list
of public Internet access facilities (telecenters, internet cafes,
multi-purpose community centers) that were either closed down, or
that never got off the ground in the first place, is very
troublesome. Yet, there are some cases that seem to be very
effective. ICTs for Global Development and Sustainability: Practice
and Applications unites the theoretical underpinnings and
scientific methodology of an approach of deploying ICT in
marginalized communities to bridge the so-called digital divide.
This book contains case studies of Asia, Africa, Latin America and
the Caribbean that demonstrate which approaches work and which do
not in deploying public access to information sources.
