Abstract - E-COMMERCE FOR DEVELOPMENT: PROSPECTS AND POLICY ISSUES
| |
| In this paper, we analyse the potential contribution of the Internet and its commercial
application to the development process in poor countries. In historical perspective, the
Internet has diffused at a far faster rate than earlier generations of communications
technology: from 1990 to early 2000, the estimated number of Internet users grew more
than tenfold to roughly 300 million, affecting the way in which people communicate with
each other, acquire information, learn, do business, and interact culturally. Our particular
focus is on the opportunities e-commerce offers to small-scale entrepreneurs in developing
countries and the challenges they face in exploiting e-commerce’s potential. |

3.2 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Spending on infrastructure represents about 20 per cent of total investment
in developing countries, and from 40 to 60 per cent of public investment,
according to the World Bank. A reorientation of policies on
infrastructure investment to ensure that technically viable and cost-effective
employment-intensive options are used speeds the reduction of poverty by
generating productive and decent employment. The challenge is to develop
the appropriate mix of capital- and employment-intensive investment techniques
according to each country’s needs and resources. |
