Abstract
Information communications technologies (ICTs) have helped to reduce geographical boundaries and connect people across different countries, cities and villages. The internet and mobile phone revolution have enabled millions of people to engage in a global dialogue. Cyber cafes are thriving businesses in the bustling cities of Calcutta, Dakar and Rio and the remoter parts of rural towns and villages such as Tanga, Mopti and Sally. The Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) is a World Bank-supported initiative that uses technology to promote development through learning.
