contribute to the theory and practice of ICTs in and for development. The
workshop is open to submissions employing a variety of research approaches
and methodologies. Student papers will be given special consideration.

Submissions related to the workshop theme, “ICT and Sustainable
Development,” are especially encouraged. Papers exploring the economic,
social and environmental impacts of ICTs in developing regions and the
design of sustainable ICTs and related programs are welcome. We are
especially interested in ICT applications involving SMEs, government,
healthcare, and education initiatives. 

 

As in previous workshops, other areas of interest related to ICTs in and for
development include, but are not limited to: 

·        Social, political and legal frameworks for ICTs 

·        Measuring costs and benefits of ICTs
