| Training for ICT development in Sri Lanka and Tanzania |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Mendes,Shawn;Tuijnman,Albert and Young,Nina | 2003 | The Institute of International Education at Stockholm University accepted
a commission to study the development of ICT education in
Sweden with the aim to create a model for development in Sida (Swedish
International Development Cooperation Agency) partner countries. The
link between Sweden and ICT is a logical one given the country’s strong
and dynamic information and communication technology sector.
Training institutions in most countries have failed to produce the
numbers of ICT technicians and professionals needed to fill the labour
market demand of the ICT sector. This skills bottleneck will hamper
ICT development in many developing countries. And the solution is an
increase in the quantity and quality of ICT training in countries such as
Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
ICT can help developing economies participate in the global
economy. The resulting improvement in communications and the increased
exchange of information will positively impact Sida partner
countries. Although the “burst of the IT bubble” in many industrialized
countries may lead some to question the promotion of ICT in development
cooperation, there remains strong interest in this sector especially
in developing countries where ICT infrastructure and usage are not
widespread. Moreover, developing countries are many years from the
excessive ICT build-up that slowed growth in advanced capitalist countries.
Indeed, the ICT sector is just now gaining momentum in many
developing countries but growth has been hampered by inadequate
infrastructure and shortages of skilled workers. |

| A Country ICT Survey for Tanzania: Report |
| Author | Dates | Summary |
| Miller Esselaar and Associates | 2001 | This report covers one of three country ICT surveys commissioned by Sida as part of its
ongoing programme to support the use of ICT in developing countries. The project team
used desk research to obtain background information before undertaking two field trips
to Tanzania. During the two-week period of the first trip, over forty stakeholders were
interviewed across a range of public and private organisations. Several visits were also
made to Internet Cafés in Dar es Salaam. At the end of that trip the preliminary results
were presented at a workshop of the interviewees and other interested parties in Dar es
Salaam. The attendees were encouraged to comment on the results and also to apply a
guide known as ‘Readiness for the Networked World’ to assess the state of ICT in
Tanzania. |
