de Alcantara, Cynthia Hewitt

In this paper, the author highlights the diversity of applications and services in the ICT field, and she urges greater originality in devising programs that put some of these tools to good use for development. Action-oriented research and dialogue within developing countries can provide the kind of insight required to develop innovative ICT programs of relevance to concrete local situations.
