Abstract

The action and applied research of Acacia II has enhanced understanding of the complex and constantly changing dynamic interaction between ICTs and poverty reduction in Africa. By improving the capacity of individuals and institutions, and by undertaking applied research, Acacia II has improved Africa's ability to formulate and implement ICT policies and thereby to support the adoption of affordable and functionally relevant technical solutions. For this External Review of the Program Initiative (PI) Acacia II, field visits were made to a purposive sample of nine research projects (four in West Africa, three in East Africa and two in South Africa).
