Spider Stories 2012

[2013] This publication gives an overview of results from ICT4D projects initiated in 2011-2012 by the Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions (Spider) in Cambodia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

In partnership with local organizations, Spider supported ICT4D projects in democracy, education and health, and crosscutting themes such as Free and Open Source Software, mobiles for development (M4D), cultural creativity and youth empowerment.

The projects made creative uses of drama and music along with digital cameras, video and mobile phones to engage in dialogue and empower local communities. The storytelling format captures the voices of project partners as well as the ultimate beneficiaries of their ICT4D efforts: ordinary people in different social settings.
