Hi Marion, Based on our experiences in Uganda, Arjan de Jager and I wrote a book on Open Source for Development. In the last chapters the issue of government adoption and resistance is dealt with.
The book can be bought and downloaded here: http://www.iicd.org/articles/free-and-open-source-software-for-development/ Contact me off-list for specific questions.
