Solutions like producing bio-briquettes require involvement of local villagers, which depends on creating socio-economic and social entrepreneurship opportunities. Our research addresses these challenges by developing and evaluating governance interventions to connect villagers with local market through a mobile app platform and shape an ecosystem. We conduct an interpretive case study based on literature on digital platform ecosystems and multi-sided platforms. We use activity theory to analyze case data on implementation of governance interventions and behavior of ecosystem actors towards the challenge of producing and selling pine briquettes through the platform. Our findings suggest that characteristic features of a platform ecosystem running in a socio-economic setting differ substantially from commercial ecosystems. Our research could be one of the first to contribute to digital platforms for development in a local socioeconomic context.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"205 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44992097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses a unique three-wave panel data set of household surveys, collected from seven officially recognized poor counties in rural China during 2012–2018, to examine the effect of ICT adoption on poverty. The results show that ICTs contributed positively to poverty reduction in the sampled counties, which may have been primarily achieved through increased migration and off-farm income, instead of through improved agricultural production and farm income. This suggests that ICT development facilitated households escaping poverty by helping them diversify their livelihood strategies away from agriculture in remote mountainous areas. The findings highlight the importance of creating incentives to complement the opportunities brought by ICTs for local development. It is important to strike a balance between poverty reduction and food security objectives.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"128 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46237690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With increasing numbers of people falling into poverty, it is those same people at the margins who hold the key to global recovery. The term human digital development refers to the exercise of human agency using ICTs, in particular human interactions in cyberspace that offer new ways in which people may lead the lives they choose to live. Being healthy is central for an individual’s capabilities and freedoms to bring about improvements in their lives. The role for human digital development in global health lies in the ways in which artificial intelligent applications are used to support people, their providers and institutions operating in low-resource environments. In this way, digital health enables the use of artificially intelligent technologies to achieve improved health outcomes. Investments in human digital development can create positive cycles of prosperity by spurring economic growth.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"28 1","pages":"649 - 659"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46950361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that digitalization alleviated income inequality and the interaction of digitalization with trade openness, and foreign direct investment helped narrow the income gap in the full sample, but the impact is heterogeneous by income level. The impact of digitalization on narrowing income gap has a greater effect on middle-income countries than on high-income countries. The interaction between digitalization and trade openness tends to widen the income inequality in high-income countries but has the opposite effect in middle-income countries. The interaction of digitalization with foreign direct investment has helped narrow income inequality in both high-income and middle-income countries. It implies that digitalization contributes to narrowing income inequality; there is a difference in the intensity of the digitalization effect between high-income and middle-income countries.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"61 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46006986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Pearson correlation analysis demonstrates a significant positive correlation between WGI and EDGI. When disaggregated, however, some dimensions of governance fail to correlate with e-governance. Notably, governance indicators correlate positively with each other thus reinforcing the critical role of traditional institutions of governance in achieving good governance. The study concludes that while ICTs are effective in advancing the goals of governments, they achieve better outcomes when integrated with established institutions and structures of governance. It advances an understanding of the concepts of development and governance by providing empirical evidence of the prospects and limitations of ICTs in the administrative practices of governments, especially in geopolitical contexts of limited resources.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"256 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48477529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the field of digital development, this objective presents a particular challenge. While digital technologies can be utilized to reduce certain inequalities, they are also linked to reproductive mechanisms, reinforcing existing inequalities. In the context of an increasing digitalization of development, particular attention must therefore be paid to the link between digital inequalities and the quest to leave no-one behind. This article analyses the integration of intersectional inequalities in the SDG framework and the resulting need for coherent policies, and demonstrates the parallels between this challenge and the reproductive nature of digital inequalities. On this basis, we argue that the issue of digital inequalities should be mainstreamed in development programming in order to avoid worsening existing inequalities through digital development. Moreover, we discuss recommendations for a potential post-2030 agenda succeeding the SDGs.","PeriodicalId":51547,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology for Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"9 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43866025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that the association between digital finance and happiness is negative. Mechanism analyzes suggest that digital finance is negatively associated with happiness through the increasing debt burden and overspending behavior. Further heterogeneous analyzes find that age, debt level, and trust degree can be moderators in the relationship between digital finance and happiness.
