New information and communication technologies (ICTs) are heralded as remarkable tools for the development of marginalised communities. Research has shown that ICTs can contribute to development, but need to be introduced in ways that recognise local social networks and cultural contexts. This project takes a participatory approach to research, aiming to empower people through finding their own voice. We will establish a research network of local ICT initiatives across Asia and the Pacific region. Using ethnographic action research the network will be populated by local researchers in each of these initiatives, trained and supported by Australian researchers. This will increase understanding of how ICTs can be both effective and empowering.

新的信息和通信技术（ICT）被誉为边缘化社区发展的重要工具。研究表明，信息和通信技术可以促进发展，但需要以承认当地社交网络和文化背景的方式加以采用。该项目采取参与式研究方法，旨在通过找到自己的声音来增强人们的权能。我们将在整个亚洲和太平洋区域建立一个地方信息和通信技术倡议研究网络。利用人种学行动研究，该网络将由澳大利亚研究人员培训和支持的每一项举措的当地研究人员组成。这将增进对信通技术如何既有效又能增强能力的理解。
