Building Digital Opportunities: ICT Case Studies at http://www.digitalopportunity.org/fulltext/casestudies.shtml
As part of the Building Digital Opportunities (BDO) programme, OneWorld has started to conduct case studies to help give decisionmakers a clear understanding of how civil society is actually using information and communications technologies, and what the impact is. The cases studies are OneWorld partners. They were not selected for being success stories; rather they were likely to help identify the positive and negative impact ICTs have. A brief explanation of the methodology is available. Over a dozen organisations in South Asia, Southern Africa and Central America will be profiled. Their activities vary from offering wireless communication equipment to tribal nomads and teaching slum children how to use a computer, to training NGOs how to build a website and online broadcasting of radio programmes. By using the same structure and definitions, the conclusions on impact and sustainability are fairly comparable. Please visit the Digital Opportunities Channel often to see the latest case studies, which will be published at least twice a month.
