Abstract

This formative evaluation develops recommendations based on lessons that have emerged from the coordination, management, and implementation of various activities within The Global Impact Study of Public Access to Information & Communication Technologies, at the halfway point of its five year mandate. Looking at libraries, telecentres, and cyber-cafés, the Global Impact Study investigates impact in a number of areas, including communication and leisure, culture and language, education, employment and income, governance, and health; to the extent that public use differs from private use, we need to understand these differences, and articulate the mechanisms through which they produce impact.
