E-commerce for development: eTourism as a showcase
(Mzumbe Book Project, 2006) Kamuzora Faustine Rweshabura
The content of the book will inform different types of audience. For policy makers, the book provides original data and information which could be deployed in informing the debate on ICTs for development (ICT4D). Since there are very few sources of such detailed data and information and books related to electronic commerce as wells as ICT4D in the majority of developing countries, the book is suitable to both academics, students, and practitioners interested in the subject. Similarly, donors and other development partners are likely to find the book interesting as it provides a detailed analysis on issues of e-commerce in a developing country. For example, it is observed usually that the concept of digital divide is broader than as it is considered since an access to ICTs is only a necessary condition since there are several other sufficient conditions which need to be addressed in order to bridge the divide effectively and sustainably. Some of these sufficient conditions include possessing the right technical knowledge and information culture as well as the enabling environment such as appropriate legal framework and infrastructure.
