>CIRN 2005 - 24-26 August 2005, Cape Town South Africa - CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>The Community Informatics Research Network (CIRN) 2005 Conference is open to
>receive research, policy and praxis based papers around the major theme of
>�partnerships�. The Conference website will be found at
>http://www.cirn2005.org.
>
>Community Informatics is principally involved with the social appropriation
>of ICT for local benefits.
>
>The practice of community informatics usually involves role players with
>diverse interests, and many of the benefits are found in the combination of
>different role players' interests and resources. The main role players in
>CI are found in civil society, government, business and individuals. CIRN
>2005 will highlight the interactions between these sectors in delivering
>local benefit.
>
>Increasing availability of ICT highlights the need for new partnerships
>between and within civil society, the public sector and business. It moves
>the agenda beyond simple questions of access, to effective use. This
>challenges the current roles, responsibilities and activities in civil
>society, government and business. Experience is demonstrating that neither
>'top down' nor 'bottom up' approaches are consistently delivering universal
>benefit; rather, partnerships are providing significant value propositions
>in the emerging information economy. Further, whilst the relationships
>between business and government are quite well understood, the relationships
>between civil society and business, government and individuals in the
>emerging information age are still in formative stages.
>
>The conference is designed for researchers, policymakers, community leaders,
>ICT project leaders, government officials and regional community development
>groups who have interests, skills and experience in the social appropriation
>of ICT
