[Telecentres] FYI: The Dynamics of Technology for Social Change

[Mikhail Doroshevich]

The Dynamics of Technology for Social Change  

The book's primary objective is to help people understand how to
successfully design, implement, and evaluate ICT projects in a
complicated landscape, by explaining the underlying principles that
influence outcomes. It's an important resource for anyone attempting
social sector initiatives. Social change projects often involve
partnerships between nonprofits, the private sector, philanthropies and
government. The book provides some unique insights into how the various
sectors understand the issues, and the impact of differing institutional
objectives on project outcomes. Leveraging my own multi-sector
experiences the book offers strategies covering capacity, marketing,
partnerships, sustainability, implementation and evaluation among other
topics. In the process, readers are offered a unusual look inside the
Soros Foundation's global Internet Program as it facilitated social
change through technology.

Director Chris Coward of the University of Washington's Center for
Internet says, "What makes this book valuable is the combination of
Peizer's open and honest assessment of projects he's been associated
with, and an ability to distill his vast experience into a series of
principles and practical guidance for developing an effective IT
strategy".
