Public Access ICT Landscape Study
Expression of Interest - Country research teams

The University of Washington Center for Internet Studies
(CIS) is
conducting a study of public access ICT environments in 25
countries.
The research will include an examination of physical
infrastructures
(libraries, telecenters, kiosks, etc.), public access
policies,
stakeholder analyses (especially within government), and the
information
needs of disadvantaged communities, among others.

To implement this study, CIS is seeking qualified in-country
research
teams to conduct interviews, surveys and local language data
analyses.
The expected timeframe for the engagement is November 2007
through
August 2008.

The final list of countries is still being determined, and
one of the
criteria is the availability of a local research team with
the capacity
to undertake this research.  For details of this request and
list of
countries, visit:

Interested parties should send a 1-page Expression of
Interest in a Word
or text file by October 8 to: ictstudyu.washington.edu
