Information Technology and Sustainability in Developing Countries: An Introduction

Simplice Asongu and Nicholas Odhiambo

No 22/028, Working Papers of the African Governance and Development Institute. from African Governance and Development Institute.

Abstract: The purpose of this special issue is to contribute to the growing body of literature on the externalities of information technology within the specific remit of the relationship between information technology and sustainability outcomes in developing countries, not least because of the sparse scholarship on the subject focusing on developing countries. Each of the seven selected contributions to knowledge solidly stands on its own merits, as summarized in three main strands, notably: (i) information technology usage; (ii) the nexus between ICT and growth outcomes at the urban and national levels and (iii) leveraging on ICT for poverty reduction.
