ICT In Bangladesh ICT for Rural Development Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Outline Setting the scene Identifying the rural The potential of ICTs for rural development Constraints Potential solutions Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Setting the scene Understanding Livelihoods: complexity, choices and policies in Southern India A 20 minute video by Catcher Media for DFID Designed “to spark discussion about sustainable livelihoods approaches” “Resource for development professionals in the NGO and Government sectors working at both policy and field levels” Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Setting the scene What are the core messages this video is trying to get across? What strengths does the video format have in delivering these? How would you use the video in a learning context with NGOs? Government officials? Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Identifying the rural What do we think of when we consider the ‘rural’? Low density Extensive production Forestry Agriculture Mineral extraction Generally poor Why else would people migrate to towns? ‘Backward’ Limited services The Urban as dominant and ‘civilised’ Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Identifying the rural How much ‘rural’ development have you learnt in your courses so far? An example of bias against ‘the rural’! Yet almost all the world’s food and raw materials come from rural areas Michael Lipton (1977) Why Poor People Stay Poor Urban bias Dominance of interests designed to increase unequal terms of trade between urban and rural areas and people Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

ICTs in rural development Potential to Provide services to dispersed rural people Radio, TV, Internet, Mobile telephony Disseminate information more broadly Market information Agricultural extension services Breakdown the urban bias But Infrastructure is needed Costs must be affordable Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Key constraints in rural communication Dispersed low density populations Therefore high cost of providing services Distances High transport costs to peripheral regions Terrain Mountain ranges Impassable roads in rainy seasons Traditional lack of technological knowledge Need for easy to use solutions Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

E-Learning Flow National Experts Local Expert Extension Worker Knowledge Banks Online Courses E-Library Forum, Email, SMS Farmers’ Group Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH

Technological solutions Radio can reach everywhere Soaps for health and rural development Satellites can likewise overcome line of sight constraints Especially VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) Gilat in Rwanda, Kenya, DRC, Mozambique Posta Kenya http://www.gilat.com/Solutions_CaseStudies_Posta.asp The WorldSpace solution http://www.worldspace.com/about/index.html Established in 1990 - satellite radio Downloading learning content to rural areas Telephony Mobiles: dramatic impact on communication Wednesday, November 14, 2018 NORTHERN UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH
