>The Electronic Journal on Information Systems in Developing Countries
>(EJISDC) strives to become the foremost international forum for
>practitioners, teachers, researchers and policy makers to share their
>knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation,
>management and evaluation of information systems and technologies in
>developing countries.
>
>Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their manuscripts to the
>editors for publication in EJISDC. Research papers are peer-reviewed. Other
>forms of submission are also welcome, such as position papers, commentaries
>and book reviews.
>
>The Journal will focus on information technologies and practices relevant in
>the context concerned rather than on any accepted norms that might be
>prevalent in developed countries. In acknowledging that the digital divide
>is not defined by national borders alone, EJISDC is also interested in
>issues surrounding information systems among less privileged indigenous
>communities within otherwise developed countries. Examples are Native
>Americans, the aboriginal populations of Australia and the Maoris of New
>Zealand.
>
>Topics of interest are as wide and diverse as the audience that we address.
>However, certain issues relating to ICTs in developing countries sit at the
>forefront of system planning and development activities and contributions
>relating to these are especially sought as it believed that they will have
>an immediate interest among a wide audience. Such topics are:
