Abstract
As more bottom-up communication becomes possible, and more open and participatory institutional designs are enabled, ICTs can change the relationships and hierarchies around information and communication processes. An appropriate ‘information society framework’ will situate the analysis of new ICT-related developments in the shifting structural/ institutional landscape, which is important to understand and theorize about, in order to be able to empower grassroots spaces and infiltrate the more traditional development processes of education, training and capacity building. The article focuses on the uses of a new theoretical framework for ICTD: People’s Communications for Development (PC4D).
