Research on ICT Innovations for Poverty Reduction

Authors: Don Slater, Jo Tacchi

The publication presents comparative research findings of local initiatives spread across a series of sites in South Asia, including Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and India. The sites include a range of community media and use information and communication technologies (ICTs) as part of efforts to reduce poverty.

Ethnographic Action Research as an approach has been integrated into the project from the outset. The approach seeks out insights into many of the complex issues that surround questions of using ICTs to reduce poverty.
