The objective has been to gather together information to assist them in their debates and discussions about the social and economic impact of ICTs. It brings together the views of government policy-makers, industrialists, researchers, and other stakeholders in developing and industrialised countries and it draws substantially on the results of research in the field of science and technology policy studies. The report is intended to be a `source book'. It is structured to identify current knowledge about issues that are central to whether developing countries will be able to harness ICTs to meet their development needs. Readers will find that each chapter contains an overview of the issues on a particular theme, illustrations drawn from the experiences of both the wealthier and poorest developing countries, and a summary of priorities.
