Description

The main aim of this report is to summarise the evidence available on the effects of ICT4D partnerships on poverty reduction. The research question: “What are the key lessons of ICT4D partnerships for poverty reduction?” guided the review. A further aim of the study was to use systematic and reproducible methods of investigation of the published literature that enabled a judgement to be made about the quality as well as the content of the evidence available. The review focuses on lessons from both successes and failures of such partnerships and in particular on the role of governments, private sector and civil society in delivering ICT4D partnerships. It explores existing models of ICT4D partnerships, and synthesises evidence from those studies that used rigorous approaches to understand case studies of partnership implementation across different regions of the world.
