Selected Papers from IFIP Working Group 9.4 - Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries
Elaine M. Byrne, Brian Nicholson, Fadi Salem · Information Technologies and International Development · 2010
This special issue arose out of a desire to address what some perceive as a gap between the IFIP and ICTD scholastic communities, where IFIP is perceived as more MIS-and European-focused. With this issue, we hope to close that gap by providing a showcase for some of the best of IFIP recent research, and by shedding light on those IFIP contributions which are particularly relevant for ICTD practitioners. For ITID readers new to IFIP, we hope these papers serve to introduce you to the scholars and ideas of our working group, and we look forward to identifying new ways to work together in the future.
