The workshop offered a forum for researchers from five countries – Brazil, India, Philippines, South Africa and Uganda – to present their initial findings regarding a multi-country ‘ICTs for Participatory Development’ research that IT for Change is coordinating. The research aims to identify critical elements for engaging various local development actors, including local authorities, for employing ICTs systemically for participatory local development, and highlighting the policy and other institutional requirements for such engagement. |
