The debate is no longer whether to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students in primary and secondary schools in Africa using ICT in teaching and learning? How does the process transform relations among learners, educators and knowledge construction? This collection by 19 researchers from Africa, Europe, and North America, explores these questions from a pedagogical perspective and specific socio-cultural contexts. Many of the contributors draw on learning theory and survey data from 36 schools, 66000 students and 3000 teachers. The book is rich in empirical detail on the perceived importance and appropriation of ICT in the development of education in Africa. It critically examines the potential for creative use of ICT to question habits, change mindsets, and deepen practice. The contributions are in both English and French.

Sustainable development can be defined as the improvement of economic efficiency, the protection and restoration of the environment and the enhancement of the social well-being of people (IISD, 1995). The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IIDS) further argues that sustainable development is an integrated process for decision-making that requires information for it to be accomplished. Inherent in the idea of sustainable development are aspects such as democratic values, community participation, international collaboration and strong leadership. A wide diversity of information is required to reflect an integrated approach to sustainable development. Agenda 21 is the foundational document of sustainable development and sets out a global action plan. The New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) similarly embraces the need for sustainable development and has formulated actions that have to be taken on the African continent. This paper proposes the development of an information framework for sustainable development in South Africa and discusses the country's ability to provide the information required to address actions stipulated in Agenda 21. As part of this framework, indicators needed to implement and monitor sustainable development are discussed and the inherent value of spatial information for the implementation of sustainable development is touched on.

This volume provides apt and timely insights into how a globalizing African society could use the array of opportunities that various applications of ICT offer to supply much-needed food sustainability for the people of Africa. Looking at the entire agricultural value chain, the book presents a viable empirical framework for engaging with ICT in processes of food production and distribution, especially for rural low-scale agriculturists. It also depicts how the platform of ICT could play a central role in making the larger continental-goal of sustainable food security a realistic projection. In addition, the text considers how different regional dynamics could either enable or disable the efficient deployment of ICTs in the process of agricultural production in Africa, and highlights the relative progress that has been recorded in some parts of Africa in respect to the use of various ICT platforms in processes of agricultural production and distribution. The book will be particularly useful for students, researchers, teachers and policy makers working in the intersection between technology and food security.
