<p><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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, <em><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Partners for Development: ICT Actors
and Actions,</span></em> 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.<br>
