Abstract
-
The digital revolution has changed the landscape of development. The disruptive nature of the transformation has forced countries and societies to
undertake major projects and investments. Coming to understand the underpinnings of this revolution has been, however, a slow and intricate process, particularly in developing nations. Even today, when there is no longer any doubt about ICT’s importance and impact, development policies and initiatives are not always oriented toward addressing major longterm needs.
