I am giving a talk at the College of Communication and Information at the Florida State University in Tallahassee tomorrow.
The slides are here. Preparing for the talk made me think more deeply about LIRNEasia’s theory of change. I will also include some discussion of our systematic review on impacts of mobile telephony in rural areas, given this is an ICTD audience.
