The Dynamics of Technology for Social Change The book's primary objective is to help people understand how to successfully design, implement, and evaluate ICT projects in a complicated landscape, by explaining the underlying principles that influence outcomes. It's an important resource for anyone attempting social sector initiatives. Social change projects often involve partnerships between nonprofits, the private sector, philanthropies and government. The book provides some unique insights into how the various sectors understand the issues, and the impact of differing institutional objectives on project outcomes. Leveraging my own multi-sector experiences the book offers strategies covering capacity, marketing, partnerships, sustainability, implementation and evaluation among other topics. In the process, readers are offered a unusual look inside the Soros Foundation's global Internet Program as it facilitated social change through technology.
Director Chris Coward of the University of Washington's Center for Internet says, "What makes this book valuable is the combination of Peizer's open and honest assessment of projects he's been associated with, and an ability to distill his vast experience into a series of principles and practical guidance for developing an effective IT strategy". http://internautconsulting.com/book/press.shtm Best regards, Mikhail Doroshevich E-Belarus.ORG E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] U: http://www.e-belarus.org B: http://www.i-policy.org _______________________________________________ telecentres mailing list [email protected] http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/telecentres To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
