Dear Friends,

IT for Change <http://www.itforchange.net/> is undertaking a
collaborative research study with support from UNDP
http://www.undp.org/ New York on 'ICTs for Participatory Local
Development', the outcomes of which will provide a roadmap for a
systemic application of ICTs across development domains and processes,
in a manner that transforms community- and citizen-centric dimensions of
local development.

We are seeking researchers or organisations from the global South to
collaborate on this project. Please see the _Call for Research Proposals
(http://www.itforchange.net/images/call_for_proposals.pdf), and
download the full project proposal
(http://www.itforchange.net/images/itfc_proposal_undp_local_development.pdf)
for further details. Four partners will be selected and will work
alongside IT for Change 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.

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
one page description at the earliest to _ITfC at ITforChange.net



Best regards

Vivek
