Many development organisations are initiating programs in Sub-Saharan Africa
bringing information technology to community centres, schools, universities, and
government institutions. In the United States and more particularly Silicon Valley,
California, people are convinced of the benefits of the Internet. An organisation
started in this context, Schools Online, has initiated programs in over 31 countries
and spent millions of dollars in the South. The study focuses on Schools Online's
history, structure, and vision while researching its activities in a rural school in the
town of Jinja, Uganda, in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is recommended that Schools
Online listens and learns from its beneficiaries when planning an information
technology project. / Development Studies / M. A. (Development Studies)
