These initiatives are usually undertaken on the basis that they are important for social and economic development. However, one barrier to the efficient utilisation of ICT in developing countries is the relatively low level of information literacy. Without the ability to manipulate and use information effectively, investments in ICT-for-development projects may be unsuccessful. In this research project, three ICT initiatives in Kenya are analysed in the light of the dimensions of information literacy. Implications for other developing countries are discussed.© 2009 The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing CountriesInformation and communications technologyInformation literacyDeveloping countriesKenyaJournal ArticleOpenAccess
