A new online paper – “Future Priorities for Development Informatics Research from the Post-2015 Development Agenda<http://www.seed.manchester.ac.uk/medialibrary/IDPM/working_papers/di/di_wp57.pdf>” – analyses the gaps between current ICT4D research and the future post-2015 development agenda. This analysis produces the following map of future ICT4D research priorities, with a quick overview provided in a related blog entry<http://ict4dblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/ict4d-research-priorities-from-the-post-2015-development-agenda/>. [DI Research Priorities Map] Do please pass this along to any contacts you may have who are involved in ICT4D research or advisory roles.
