Impact Assessment of ICT4D Projects: New Online Guide
by Yaw Anokwa 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

richard heeks has done a lot of work in ictd and this guide looks like a worthwhile read. ---------------------------- Subject: [wougnet] Impact Assessment of ICT4D Projects: New Online Guide From: "Richard Heeks" <richard.heeks(a)manchester.ac.uk> A compendium of impact assessment frameworks for ICT4D projects is now available online: http://ict4dblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/impact-assessment-of-ict4d-projec… The compendium is a guide to how to choose and how to apply ICT4D impact assessment methods. It consists of three parts: 1. Overview: explains the basis for understanding impact assessment of ICT4D projects (including the ICT4D value chain), and the different assessment frameworks that can be used. 2. Frameworks: summarises a series of impact assessment frameworks, each one drawing from a different perspective. 3. Bibliography: a tabular summary of real-world examples of ICT4D impact assessment. IDRC, the sponsor for the compendium, is providing access on a creative commons basis, enabling the work to be freely shared and adapted. The compendium was a feed-in to the joint IDRC/Gates Foundation IPAI project - a major five-year project on impact assessment of public access to ICTs: http://www.ipairesearch.org/ The compendium is posted on the ICT4D blog to enable comments and pointers to similar ICT4D IA materials.

Re: [change] [IP] Re: amazing and appalling at the same time
by Sunil Garg 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

This is veering off-topic in relation to Bob's original post, but in any case: I think choosing to participate in ICTD research is really a matter of personal interest. I suspect that the people you refer to as "high caliber" are ones who were high performers in CS undergrad, which generally is theory heavy in that graphics, algorithms, and programming languages are subject areas of focus, so it's natural that they would be drawn to those fields. ICTD, including telemedicine, is extremely interdisciplinary, where successful projects involve fields ranging from ethnography and psychology, HCI, etc., for project design, to techincal skills for implementation work in extremely resource-constrained environments. On top of that, it's a very new field, so bringing all of that together is a daunting task in working towards a PhD thesis, especially in CS, and from what I've seen requires the initiative and dedication that come with strong personal interest in the field. And for the record, at least at the University of Washington, where I'm a CS undergrad, there do exist high-caliber professors and students working on ICTD issues.
