- sustainable and contextually relevant and appropriate ICT solutions
- strategies to move forward in utilizing ICT to address future development challenges
- the contextual and institutional factors that affect the results of ICTs for development initiatives
The next issue of SPIDER ICT4Development Series will be launched in November 2010 and covers ICT, Transparency and Corruption.
The 2011 issue will deal with E-health in low resource settings – Delivering health care at the point of need.
