In the fall of 2011, Danida commissioned a study with the objective of:
• Examining strategic opportunities for using ICT for promoting governance and democratization efforts within development assistance; and
• Exploring opportunities for ICT in the present Danish portfolio of development programs and within the vision of the Strategy for Danish Development Cooperation.
The study touches on a range of ICT technologies but its focus is the use of mobile phones, including voice calls, SMS- Text, mobile internet, and social media. This report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study and falls in 6 chapters: an introductory part outlining study objectives and the methodology applied (Chapters 1-2); a presentation of why ICT is important (Chapter 3); a presentation of ICT case studies from Kenya emphasizing transparency, accountability and empowerment (Chapter 4); a presentation of other donor practices and experiences with emphasis on institutional issues (chapter 5); and a concluding chapter outlining the conclusions/recommendations (Chapter 6).
