| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Patience, Akpan-Obong, | 2007 | This paper examines the relationship between information and communication technologies
(ICTs) and regional integration as a pathway to socio-economic development in Africa and
South America. Both regions face a colonial legacy often characterized by stronger external
economic and political ties to the developed world than between the countries in the region.
The transfer of technology and building of infrastructure networks are also influenced by this
North-South relationship. However, regional organizations are currently involved in efforts to
strengthen technological infrastructure such as ICTs, as well as the enhancement of economic
and political ties. |

| Use of I.C.T. in the Public Sector (e- Government) |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| David Sawe | 2006 | The “ICT for Development” concept is NOT about distributing PCs to the poor, ignorant, isolated or disenfranchised!
Poverty concerns more than a lack of wealth as it also signifies:
morbid conditions of living, incl. poor nutrition, health, education
isolation from essential facilities and basic public services/utilities
deprivation of knowledge and access to information resources
inability to exercise human/political rights and obtain justice
…resulting in lowered dignity and self-confidence, while also: …blocking the possibility of risk-taking on potentially beneficial ventures or self-improvement initiatives.
ICT tools can enhance public extension services via mobile connectivity;
As a multi-dimensional and multi-stakeholder tool, ICT must be harnessed by Government to raise productivity in public service delivery + support, to more rapidly alleviate suffering induced by poverty in all those areas.
