[governance] [New post] The Dead Hand of (Western) Academe: Community Informatics in a Less Developed Country Context

[Sonigitu Ekpe]

Dear All,

Michael is very correct.
I think this maybe due to quest for funding that make majority studying or
conducting researches that are not the basic need of less developed
Countries on one hand and the order is lack of coordination within the LDC
policy makers and other stakeholders to articulate programs that can bring
in specialization among professional players.

Many other factors also influence their relevancy.

It is also a great problem in Africa.

Warm wishes.

It is interesting that you raise this Michael because we have been having a
most interesting discussion on the PICISOC mailing list where on one hand
you have a person from the organisation that is custodian of the Digital
Strategy within Oceania stating that the region is the most overstudied
region and on the other hand you have people like me arguing the irrelevance
of some of the approaches and studies done.
