ANSA-Africa Full Circle Newsletter: December 2009
Issue theme: Access to information can fundamentally alter society’s power relations
There is wide acceptance in governance circles that citizens and civil society need governments to function in a capable and accountable manner. Weak governments do not mean effective and efficient government and there is ample evidence to suggest that such governments create fertile grounds for the flourishing of corruption and other anti-democratic practices.

Who writes about ICT4D online?
|
Ivan Sigal, Global Voices
February 2010
Over the past months Global Voices has been engaged in researching and writing about ICT for development supported by Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The challenge was to find out what was being said about ICT4D in global blogs and citizen media. We wanted to see what was being said beyond the halls of science, by practitioners in their own words.
We've collected our findings on a Future of ICT for Development special coverage page.
