While information and communications technologies (ICT) are now
generally accepted to have a key developmental role, the actual process
through which development is influenced remains a much debated issue.
With the conference theme, Partners for Development: ICT Actors and
Actions, we hope to draw special attention to the role played by
multiple actors - public and private, activists and entrepreneurs as
well as other kinds of intermediaries - within the ICT for development
processes and their associated impacts. The conference hopes to provide
a space for articulating a variety of approaches and views from these
different types of actors in relation to ICT and sustainable
development. In addition to papers from the field of information
systems, we also invite contributions that address the conference theme
from a variety of other perspectives such as development studies,
political science, political economy, social anthropology, and
sociology. Multidisciplinary papers and cases grounded in theory and
panel proposals are very welcome.

Submissions: All papers will be double blind reviewed. The best papers
from the conference will be selected for further review and possible
publication in the following journals: Journal of Information Technology
for Development; Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing
Countries; Information Technologies and International Development.

Full Research Papers: Length limit  - 5000 words of text excluding
abstract, diagrams, tables and references

Research in Progress/Practitioner Reports: Length Limit  - 2500 words of
text excluding abstract, diagrams, tables and references.

Demos: Submissions in the 'ICT4D Demos' category must not exceed one A4
page (500 words maximum) and should contain title of the project, a
brief description of the project and reasons for its success. If
accepted, at least one of the authors should register for the conference
by the registration deadline and be physically present to set up and
conduct the demonstration.
