Sustainable ICT4D in Africa: Where Do We Go From Here?

In recent years many researchers in Africa and beyond have
devoted considerable resources investigating ways to harness the potential of ICT for improving users’ livelihood in developing areas. Topics
and domains of interest appear to be broad with recurring themes and
solutions. Unfortunately there are no clear research roadmaps on what
is urgent and of the state of the art solutions. In this position paper for
the AFRICOMM series of conference, we propose to investigate some
priorities for ICT4D in Africa. We believe that our work could motivate
researchers and create a synergy around a few important challenges of
ICT4D in Africa.
