 ICTs can also expand the reach and 
effectiveness of social development 
projects and have already yielded 
important benefits in such areas as 
healthcare, education, and 
environmental preservation.

 Public-sector uptake of ICTs is also 
making governments more efficient and 
their decision-making more transparent. 
07/12/14

Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 5
 Several recent studies have described 
remarkable success in using ICTs to 
help underserved communities and to 
create new opportunities in developing 
countries.

 As an example, Microsoft , is 
dedicated to working closely with 
underserved peoples, developing 
countries, and the broader international 
development community to realize the 
full potential of ICTs for human 
development. 
07/12/14

 Because ICTs can be applied to a 
tremendously diverse range of human 
experience, they are transforming virtually 
every sector of society and the economy. 
Digital breakthroughs are creating new 
possibilities for improving health and nutrition, 
expanding knowledge, stimulating economic 
growth and empowering people to participate 
in their communities. 
07/12/14

Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 8
 As many developing nations have 
recognized, ICTs have the potential to 
spur local economic growth and to 
expand the reach and effectiveness of 
development initiatives.

 the information age: the rich get their 
information almost free, 
 while the poor have to pay dearly for it, 
(in the case for instance of the price 
poor people have to pay to make a 
simple telephone call).

ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 10
 The system has a concurrent capacity 
to include and exclude people based 
upon a capacity to network, 
 and this is where the poor in developing 
countries suffer from exclusion. (Digital 
Divide)

 Human Development is the process of 
expanding human capabilities and 
access to opportunities in social, 
economic and political arenas and 
therefore the overall improvement in the 
quality of life. (UNDP 2002: Kenya

 It is a standard means of measuring 
well-being, especially child welfare. 
 It is used to distinguish whether the 
country is a developed, a developing or 
an underdeveloped country, and also to

to enlarge people's choices. In principle, 
these choices can be infinite and can 
change over time. 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 16
 People often value achievements that 
do not show up at all, or not 
immediately, in income or growth 
figures: 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 17
 greater access to knowledge, better 
nutrition and health services, more 
secure livelihoods, security against 
crime and physical violence, satisfying

freedoms and sense of participation in 
community activities. 
07/12/14

 The objective of development is to 
create an enabling environment for 
people to enjoy long, healthy and 
creative lives." 
- Mahbub ul Haq (1934-1998), founder of the

security and dignity, among other 
elements. 
07/12/14

Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 21
ICT & POVERTY 
 By definition, ICTs include electronic 
networks – embodying complex 
hardware and software - linked by a 
vast array of technical protocols 
(Mansell and Silverstone, 1996). 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 22
 ICTs are embedded in networks and 
services that affect the local and global 
accumulation and flows of public and 
private knowledge. 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 23
 According to the United Nations Economic 
Commission for Africa, ICTs cover Internet 
service provision, telecommunications 
equipment and services, information 
technology equipment and services, media 
and broadcasting, libraries and 
documentation centres, commercial 
information providers, network-based 
information services, and other related 
information and communication activities. 
(ECA, 1999). 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 24
 Most arguments related to poverty 
focus on insufficient nutrition, 
inadequate shelter and so on. It is only 
recently that some have started to 
argue that lack of access to information 
and communications technologies 
(ICTs) is an element of poverty. (Kenny, 
2001) 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 25
 Therefore, if properly deployed, ICTs 
have enormous potential as tools for 
increasing information flows and for 
empowering poor people. 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 26
 ICTs are a means or mechanism that 
can make a significant contribution to 
the fight for poverty reduction. 
 ICTs cannot solve poverty on their own, 
but they can make a contribution to the 
processes that lead to achieving the 
Millennium Development Goals 
(MDGs). 
07/12/14 
ICT&Development_Redouane 
Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 27
What are the MDGs 
 The Millennium Development Goals are 
8 International development goals that 
were established following the 
Millennium Summit of the United 
Nations in 2000.(Adoption of the UN 
Millennium Declaration). 
07/12/14

Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 28
 All 189 UN member states at that time 
(there are currently 193) & at least 23 
International Organizations committed

  • 10.  the information age: the rich get their information almost free,  while the poor have to pay dearly for it, (in the case for instance of the price poor people have to pay to make a simple telephone call). 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 10

  • 16.  "The basic purpose of development is to enlarge people's choices. In principle, these choices can be infinite and can change over time. 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 16
  • 17.  People often value achievements that do not show up at all, or not immediately, in income or growth figures: 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 17
  • 18.  greater access to knowledge, better nutrition and health services, more secure livelihoods, security against crime and physical violence, satisfying leisure hours, political and cultural freedoms and sense of participation in community activities. 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 18
  • 19.  The objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives." - Mahbub ul Haq (1934-1998), founder of the Human Development Report. 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 19

(ECA, 1999). 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 24
  • 25.  Most arguments related to poverty focus on insufficient nutrition, inadequate shelter and so on. It is only recently that some have started to argue that lack of access to information and communications technologies (ICTs) is an element of poverty. (Kenny, 2001) 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 25
  • 26.  Therefore, if properly deployed, ICTs have enormous potential as tools for increasing information flows and for empowering poor people. 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 26
  • 27.  ICTs are a means or mechanism that can make a significant contribution to the fight for poverty reduction.  ICTs cannot solve poverty on their own, but they can make a contribution to the processes that lead to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). 07/12/14 ICT&Development_Redouane Boulguid_ENSA_Safi_2014/2015 27
