Research in the multi-disciplinary domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Development indicates there is potential for ICT to contribute to a nation's socio-economic, socio-technical and socio-cultural development. Because of this, developing countries have been rushing to implement ambitious ICT for Development (ICT4D) projects, in rural areas, through the direct/indirect supervision of institutions such as the World Bank, the United Nations (UN) and other local and international donor agencies. These interventions aim to provide positive developmental impacts on people's lives at an individual, group or community level. However, debate is continuing regarding how and to what extent the ICT4D projects further the achievement of development.
