Tanzania: ICT's in Tanzania - donor optimism or democratic development?

A paper from the University of Leicester in the UK describes how Tanzanian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the cities of Arusha and Dar es Salaam make use of email and the Internet in their daily operations. The paper examines the role of ICTs within the wider context of liberalisation in Tanzania and the ways in which ICT usage among local NGOs reinforces specific relationships with Northern NGOs and donors.
