New Publication: Perspectives on ICTs and Development in Southern Africa
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into or Out of the Digital Divide - Perspectives on ICTs and Develop-
ment in Southern Africa
This new publication by Panos Southern Africa seeks to answer the
question: Can new media technology revolutionise the sub-region's de-
velopment process? This study reveals that diverse experiences and
government policies towards ICTs can help advance ICT development,
and subsequently impact in changing people's lives. With a deep his-
torical analysis of the African communication experience the study
also brings out policy issues that affect the development of communi-
cation tools in the region.
In all, "Into or Out of the Digital Divide" provides a comprehensive
picture of the Internet's place in southern Africa's socio-economic
environment.
