Dear Sir/Madam,

  The editorial team of the International Federation for Information 
Processing (IFIP) Working Group 9.4 newsletter titled ‘Information 
Technology in Developing Countries’, which is published by the Indian 
Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India would like to invite you to 
contribute articles/case studies for publication for the February 2014 
issue  of the newsletter. The newsletter carries articles on topics such 
as current developments taking place in the field of ICT and 
e-Governance in the context of developing countries, ICT applications 
that have been able to create a socio-economic impact, paradigms to 
understand the impact of IT on development and its social implications, 
etc. Our readers primarily include academicians, development 
practitioners, administrators concerned with IT policy, and IT 
professionals. The current issue of the newsletter can be accessed at: 
http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/egov/ifip/nov2013.htm A downloadable PDF 
version of this issue is also available on our website at: 
http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/egov/ifip/nov2013.pdf

  We request you to send in articles and case studies, written or 
compiled by you, that may be relevant to the newsletter’s theme. Your 
contribution could relate to any developing country in the world wherein 
e- governance/ICT applications have created a significant impact on the 
lives of citizens. It could even be a conceptual note on issues such as: 
reasons for the failure of a particular project and guidelines for 
implementation, projects being undertaken for the achievement of the 
Millennium Development Goals and their progress so far, new and 
innovative developments taking place in the areas of e-learning, 
e-health, telecenters, community radio, mobile enabled services etc.

  The article contributed by you should may be modified by the editorial 
team as per the format and requirements of the newsletter. However this 
shall be done only with prior approval from you. Please note that the 
article/case study contributed should be an original one and should not 
have been published in an identical form elsewhere (online). The 
contribution should reach us by the last week of January 2014, as this 
will provide us with sufficient time to review and/or modify it (if 
needed). However, the deadline for submission can be extended based on 
your convenience.

  Throughout the 18 years of its publication, the newsletter has 
received an overwhelming response from its readers as well as 
contributors who have made this achievement possible with their highly 
interesting and thought-provoking articles. We hope to receive the same 
kind of enthusiasm and participation in our endeavor in the coming 
years. We look forward to your support in making the newsletter a far 
more valuable product for our readers.

  The newsletter can be subscribed to, free of cost, at:

Thank you so much

Best Wishes,
IFIP Editorial Team
