Assessing the impact of new communication technologies in developing countries and disadvantaged communities

这项研究将加强对新技术在与弱势群体沟通和教育方面的作用的理解，以及探索它们带来的社会变化。澳大利亚致力于减少贫困、实现千年发展目标和衡量发展的影响。了解如何更好地理解传播干预措施，对于揭示它们如何支持实现更好的健康、福祉、教育和减少冲突非常重要。这项研究将加强澳大利亚在这一领域的领先潜力，开发更有效的发展援助，并将这种方法应用于澳大利亚的社区发展倡议。

This research will enhance understanding of the role of new technologies in communication with, and education of, disadvantaged groups as well as exploring the social changes they bring. Australia is committed to reducing poverty, to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and measuring the impact of development. Understanding how communication interventions may be better understood is important to revealing how they support the achievement of better health, wellbeing, education and conflict reduction. This research will strengthen Australia's potential to lead in this field, to develop more effective development assistance and to apply such methods to Australian community development initiatives.
