> IT for Change (www.ITforChange.net) is undertaking a collaborative

> Development', the outcomes of which will be published as a toolkit to
> develop a more systemic application of ICTs in future initiatives.
>
> We are seeking researchers or organisations from the global South to
> collaborate on this project. (Please visit

> Call
> for Research Proposals, and
> <http://www.itforchange.net/images/itfc_proposal_undp_local_development.pdf

> for the full project proposal). Four partners will be selected to work
> alongside ITfC for the duration of the project, each of whom will
> undertake two to three in-depth case studies on ICT systems in their
> local regions.

> Apart from covering expenses relating to data collection (including
> fieldwork), analysis and writing up, the project also provides for the
> holding of a workshop in June 2008 where the findings will be  
> discussed.

> At this stage we urgently seek short descriptions of potential  
> candidate
> initiatives from prospective partners. The most relevant among the
> initiatives will be selected for in-depth study. Please send a maximum
