Content should be people-centred, demand-driven and in local languages
(ICTs should be embedded and synchronized with other policies and resources:
Freedom of expression, competitive markets, independent regulators, a universal service fund and other elements, is key.
Other resources must be available, e.g. job opportunities or access to credit or health services in order to make use of information provided by ICTs
Ownership by the local communities, partnership and networking are key to effective poverty reduction programmes
Collaboration with/among providers of relevant information (local health clinics, research institutes, self-help organisations) to establish effective linkages

Is the public trust and confidence in ICTs still very low?
Are ICT4D initiatives merely tinkering at the periphery?
Are ICTs in the mainstream of public life and public affairs?
Ire there (too many) failures when taking modern ICTs to the grassroots?
