The DSA's "Information, Technology and Development" study group will be holding a one-day workshop on "ICT Policy in Developing Countries", hosted by the University of Manchester's Centre for Development Informatics.

We have seven presentations in total.  Three will analyse the main achievements and challenges faced by national ICT policies; in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.  Two will use analytical frameworks to understand the implementation of ICT policy in Pakistan and China.  Two will analyse the ICT policy-making process, in Uganda, and for regional policy across Africa.

Participation in the workshop is free and open to all, but you are asked to confirm your attendance with the workshop co-organiser - richard.heeks@manchester.ac.uk - because places are limited.  We anticipate that the workshop will run from 10.00am-5.30pm.

Further updates and details will be provided at the study group web page.
