- Summary:
- Although we have witnessed a steady growth in the provision of information services in developing countries, a number of fundamental questions remain unanswered. The people of these countries question the relevance and appropriateness of the services offered. Development assistance agencies are concerned about problems of sustainability. The extent to which information services actually contribute to the empowerment of people and the accountability of the institutions concerned are subjects of controversy and concern.
