>e-Governance: time to get practical?
>The scope for information and communication technologies (ICTs) to
>further good governance goals is increasingly recognised. Why has there

>What is e-governance? Can information and communication technologies
>(ICTs) contribute to the achievement of good governance goals? What are
>the implications for development? Why, when there is so much promise, do
>many e-governance initiatives go wrong? Can the gulf between the
>connected and the un-connected be bridged?

>Information Revolutions: How information and communication management is
>changing the lives of rural people
>Accessing information coming from physically remote rural locations in
>the developing world was, until recently, difficult and costly; and it
>was equally difficult to deliver information to the farmers, extension
>workers and researchers who live and work in such places. This recent
>publication by Paul Mundy and Jacques Sultan is published by CTA.
