Abstract

This paper investigates the challenges in Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) initiatives, wherein they face difficulties when advancing beyond their initial phases, particularly when being deployed across diverse geographical regions. The paper focuses on the interplay among technological integration, local contextual nuances, community engagement, and governmental regulatory frameworks, identifying these as pivotal determinants for ICT4D endeavors. This notion offers value for both scholars and practitioners seeking to enhance the effectiveness of these projects and drive socio-economic advancements within marginalized communities.
