The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries

“The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries (EJISDC) strives to become the foremost international forum for practitioners, teachers, researchers and policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of information systems and technologies in developing countries. [...] EJISDC focuses on the digital divide. Our aim is to situate contemporary trends in ICTs within a fully global context. Outside of North America, Western Europe, Australasia and Japan, diverse societies are making sense of technological advances in ways unique to their cultures and histories. ICT investments can and do contribute to improved quality of life, even where priorities for investments in information systems compete with the provision of the basic necessities of life such as decent housing, clean water and primary healthcare. ICT investments are able to leverage the values of third-world assets in much the same way as they do in the first world, sometimes to a far greater extent because of the lower starting point and lower costs.
In the five years since EJISDC went live, it has published over 120 articles from countries as far dispersed as China, Tanzania, the Solomon Islands, Brazil and Nepal.[...]”
