Optimising ICT initiatives through content creation

Abstract

Through this book, we have attempted to address a research gap in literature dealing with the circumstances and consequences of creative ICT engagement with underserved communities. Some of the most interesting work on creative engagement with new technologies deals with Western contexts; generally speaking, low-infrastructure areas are only dealt with in terms of digital divide or access issues. On the other hand, research concerned with developing country contexts are firmly located within – and build upon – work in the field of development studies and development communications, with a strong focus on poverty reduction. Our aim has been to combine these two areas of interest
