Computers and Informatics in Developing Countries is a collection of
papers documenting the conference of the Expert Group on Computers and
Informatics for Development which investigates how the international
scientific and development community can assist developing countries
in using computer and informatics technology to promote progress and
growth. The papers address the need for developing countries to
formulate and apply computer and informatics policies for development,
as well as the role of an International Centre for Computers and
Informatics (ICCI) should play in the development process. The ICCI
should be based on the network principle that links other regional and
national computer centers. The advantages of the network principle are
lower startup costs, avoidance of setting up a large organization, and
localized services of needs. An international organization similar to
ICCI can accelerate Third World developmental efforts following the
identification of needs of developing countries as regards computer
and informatics, setting of clear objectives of ICCI, and meeting with
potential donors. The collection is suitable for heads of both
non-government agencies and government departments involved in
international aid, education, or development, and also to
administrators of educational institutions and philanthropic
organizations.
