Building Digital Opportunities: ICT Case Studies

As part of the Building Digital Opportunities (BDO) programme, OneWorld
has conducted case studies to help give decisionmakers a clear
understanding of how civil society is actually using information and
communications technologies, and what the impact is. They were not
selected for being success stories; rather they are likely to help
identify the positive and negative impact ICTs  can have.

Around 20 organisations in South Asia, Southern Africa and Central
America are profiled. Their activities vary from offering wireless
communication equipment to tribal nomads and teaching slum children how
to use a computer, to training  NGOs how to build a website and online
broadcasting of radio programmes.

A synthesis report of all case studies is available as well which tries
to structurally draw conclusions on the impact (defined in terms of
opportunity, empowerment and security) and sustainability of ICT for
development activities  and also gives a brief comparison between the
different regions studied.
