Unlimited Potential Whitepaper
Enabling Sustained Social
and Economic Opportunity for the next 5 billion people.
Economists
and policymakers
agree that
investments in
technology are
crucial to
economic growth
and development.
This view is
supported by
extensive
research that
clearly
demonstrates its
impact on
business
productivity,
competitiveness,
job creation and
many other
factors—and also
by broad
anecdotal
evidence of
technology’s
transformative
power. |

Rural PC Kiosks: Who Benefits and How?
Read a white paper
about for-profit rural PC-kiosk owners and the need to focus on development services.
“What the
poor need is
economic
opportunity,
improved
nutrition and
health care,
healthy
environments,
education, and
other components
of a rewarding
and sustainable
livelihood. To
the extent that
ICTs can help
achieve those
other goals,
they are a
worthwhile tool
of development
efforts, but
they remain
tools, not
goals”. |
