| description | The aim of this paper is to create a
publicly available resource that provides concise
descriptions of selected infoDev ICT-for-development
projects, and their impact on poverty. The paper first
presents case studies of a cross-section of projects funded
by the infoDev Core Program, followed by an in-depth
analysis of the impact, and limits of those projects. The
main criterion for selecting projects for case study
analysis was to be as representative as possible of the
various environments (political, economic, social,
geographic) in which infoDev has been operating since its
inception. An attempt was also made to provide a balanced
sample relative to the success rate of the projects. Rather
than selecting the "best projects," the authors,
in consultation with the task managers of the projects, gave
priority to those initiatives likely to offer the best
lessons and knowledge about how to use ICT for development
purposes. infoDev case studies show that the presence of a
project champion enhances the success of a project (FOOD,
Manobi, Voxiva, Fantsuam). The cases also demonstrate that
technical and organization capacity can be built over the
life of a project. |
