Review :
'The authors - all leaders in the field of information technology for development - take readers on a journey across a series of in depth cases zooming in on stories across geographies and technologies assessing the broad contribution of digitalisation. The lessons are diverse grounded in the domains of health, maintaining peace, gender violence, refugees and payments. This book is unique in its depth and breadth and is both insightful and inspiring.' Professor Brian Nicholson, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK 'This book makes a unique contribution to the ICTD field of study presenting a compendium of stories about how digital technologies in the hands of citizens can promote socioeconomic development. Apart from providing rich insights about the socially-embedded nature of ICTD interventions, these stories constitute locally-grounded theories of change to guide further research and practice on digital development.' Shirin Madon, Associate Professor of Information Communication Technologies and Socioeconomic Development, London School of Economics 'This is a must-read for anyone committed to understanding how information and communication technologies have become integral to global economic, political, and social development. Based upon a collection of case studies, it provides an opportunity to learn from those involved in the practices that are making a difference. These authors have made a positive contribution to our understanding of digital development, offering valuable insights for scholars, policy makers, and practitioners.' Susan Scott, Professor of Information Systems, Department of Management, London School of E
