Public Access ICT Landscape Study
Expression of Interest - Country research teams

 

The University of Washington Center for Internet Studies (CIS) is
conducting a study of public access ICT environments in 25 countries.
The research will include an examination of physical infrastructures
(libraries, telecenters, kiosks, etc.), public access policies,
stakeholder analyses (especially within government), and the information
needs of disadvantaged communities, among others.

To implement this study, CIS is seeking qualified in-country research
teams to conduct interviews, surveys and local language data analyses.
The expected timeframe for the engagement is November 2007 through
August 2008.

The final list of countries is still being determined, and one of the
criteria is the availability of a local research team with the capacity
to undertake this research.  For details of this request and list of
countries, visit:

Interested parties should send a 1-page Expression of Interest in a Word
or text file by October 8 to: ictstudy at u.washington.edu
