The Quest for Intangibles: understanding ICTs for Digital Inclusion beyond socio-economic impact

The article talks about an ongoing project which seeks to build an evaluation fraework of telecentre initiatives. It offers a quick review of what was considered relevant in terms of evaluation in 1999, when the first IDRC meeting was held. The current project have teams in 25 countries.

Current shortcomings of research on the topic:

- Focus on intentions, weak causality

The propose the use of Outcome Mapping as a way to evaluate the impacts of ICT projects.
