>Dear Friends,
>
>As part of the Building Digital Opportunities (BDO) programme,
>OneWorld is conducting case studies to help give decision-makers a
>clear understanding of how civil society is actually using
>information and communications technologies, and what the impact is.
>The ICT projects being profiled in this series were not selected for
>being success stories; they are likely to help identify both the
>positive and negative impacts that ICTs have.
>
>Over a dozen projects run by OneWorld partners in South Asia,
>Southern Africa and Central America will be profiled in this series,
>which is being published by Digital Opportunity Channel. The
>projects' activities range from offering wireless communication
>equipment to tribal nomads and teaching slum children how to use
>computers, to training NGOs how to build Websites and online
>broadcasting of radio programmes.
>
>A brief explanation of the methodology of this study is available
>with the case studies. The same structure and definitions have been
>used so as to make the conclusions on impact and sustainability
>fairly comparable.
>
>Case studies of two Indian projects - Indev, an initiative of the
>British Council, and Deepalaya, an NGO training slum children in
>computers - have already been published. Please visit Digital
>Opportunity Channel regularly to read the latest case studies, which
>will be published at least twice a month.
