Even if impact assessment tools detect change has happened, and that ICTs are implicated in that change, it matters whether that change is consensual or achieved through external enforcement. The SIRCA II (Strengthening Information Societies Research Capacity Alliance) programme involves research capacity-building in African, Asian and Latin American regions. The first part of the volume is concerned with research on ‘impact’; the second sets out how research in the global South is contributing to the understanding of information societies in these regions.Text1 digital file (293 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenICTPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONRESEARCH CAPACITYICT4DRESEARCH NETWORKSDEVELOPMENT POLICYCONNECTIVITYMOBILE PHONESECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTMICROFINANCEPARTICIPATORY RESEARCHCYBERSEXWOMEN IN DEVELOPMENTBook
