Can ICT end Poverty?
Kentaro Toyama: “Well, no. Technology is only a magnifier of
human intent and capacity.”
Technology widens the gap through three mechanisms:
1. Differential access - technology is consistently more accessible to the rich and the powerful.
2. Differential capacity - with limited capacity, technology’s value is minimal.
3. Differential motivation - what do people want to do with the technology they have access to?
“… disseminating technology is easy; nurturing human capacity and human institutions that put it to good use is the crux.”

What did we learn?
Connectivity solutions, Ghana
Satisfaction depends on
• Access and price connectivity
• Relevant content
• Capacity development
Increased awareness and empowerment
• Is a precondition for impact
• ICT enables fast score
Economic impact
• Takes time (3-4 years)
• Requires combined ICT
• Case studies indicate higher than expected impact
www.iicd.org
What did we learn?
Connectivity solutions, Ghana
Measuring requires combined methodologies
• Simple surveys
• Focus group meetings
• End users provide relevant insights
Missing methodology to compare with other interventions
• Control groups?
• With – Without?
• What are relevant other interventions?
• Community focus groups?
• Community surveys?
• Household surveys?
