A Practical Approach to ICT for Development. Perspectives from the SAFIPA Programme

The SAFIPA final publication,  marking the conclusion of the SAFIPA programme,
was officially launched at the SAFIPA 2011 Conference on 19 October 2011.

The publication can be downloaded as a pdf below, and includes hyperlinks to websites and definitions which can be clicked on, and accessed, should you be connected to the internet.

This publication is a must-read, as it reflects on the programme in its entirety and highlights impact as a result of the project.  The publication also provides a wonderful birds’ eye-view of the projects that have been supported over the past three years.  Congratulations to the SAFIPA team for putting this publication together.

The publication consists of introductions by the Ministry of Finland, the Department of Science and Technology, the CSIR Meraka Institute and the SAFIPA Project Management Office team.  There are eight chapters in the book that include The SAFIPA Programme; Innovating educational development through ICTs; Innovative approaches to health informatics; ICT applications for social innovation and improved access; Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial support for the second economy and rural sector;  Skills development – a catalyst in creating an Information Society; Building an Information Society through networking and dissemination; and Taking SAFIPA forward – lessons learned and future opportunities.
