Information and communication technologies (ICTs), appropriately adapted, help 
improve the livelihoods of poor individuals, families and communities in rural 
areas and increase their income opportunities, thereby improving their chances 
of escaping from persistent poverty. This Knowledge Map helps understand what we 
know, both from research and from experience in the field, and what do donor 
staff and their country counterparts most urgently need to know about these 
issues. In addition, it provides recommendations on the use and role of ICT in 
enhancing the livelihoods of the rural poor.
