Stages of design in technology for global development

June 20th, 2008

My colleagues from the Technology for Emerging Markets Group at MSR India and I have an article appearing in the new issue of IEEE Computer.  It both provides an overview of some of our team’s work as well as an argument to expand the conceptualization of an ICTD intervention/project beyond that of the technology itself.

We believe that three elements are critical for progress in ICT4D research: time in the field, honesty about what works, and willingness to accept simple technical solutions.
