{"product_id":"ict-pathways-to-poverty-reduction-edith-ofwona-adera-9781853398162","title":"ICT Pathways to Poverty Reduction: Empirical Evidence from East and Southern Africa","description":"This book provides new empirical evidence on access to and use of ICTs and their effect on poor households in East African and Southern African countries. It addresses the questions: Under what conditions do women benefit economically from using ICTs? How are the livelihoods of rural users affected? Which ICTs are being used by low-income entrepreneurs? ICT Pathways to Poverty Reduction presents a conceptual framework to analyse how poverty dynamics change over time and whether ICT access benefits the poor as well as the not-so-poor. The chapters contain case studies on how various forms of ICTs affect different aspects of poverty based on research in East and Southern African countries at the household level or among micro and small enterprises, concluding that ICTs make a difference to the livelihoods of the poor and contribute to reducing both financial and non-financial dimensions of poverty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Ofwona Adera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853398160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853398162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Practical Action Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Edith Ofwona Adera","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850448122111,"sku":"9781853398162","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ict-pathways-to-poverty-reduction-edith-ofwona-adera-9781853398162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
