Information and Communication Technology (ICT) became the backbone of

a new era: the information-age. This technology influenced

practically all walks of Western life. Developing countries should

not stay behind in the adoption of ICT. However, if it is to be

implemented as a vehicle in development cooperation, the most

legitimate question is how ICT actually will be perceived at the

grass root level in less developed countries. Due to socio-cultural

aspects like traditions, values, political system, economical

developments and institutional relationships, the meaning of a

technology can differ from one region to another and even amongst

groups of people. Therefore the local context should be studied in

order to make ICT work for local people in less developed regions.
