Abstract
Experience and observation of computing in many developing countries indicate clearly the need to develop and implement a framework that is conducive to change for more effective computing practices, policies, uses and applications. On the basis of such experience as well as the comparative evaluation of the status of computing in developing countries, this paper suggests a framework for the promotion of effective computing policies, practices, procedures, uses and applications in developing countries. Such a framework characterizes the main features of an overall strategy that should be helpful in narrowing the gap between developed and developing countries on the effective use of limited computing resources. Furthermore, the conditions and requirements necessary for the framework to work are explained. Careful examination of the approach appears to indicate that the suggested framework is practicable, flexible, maintainable and easy to absorb and implement.Keywords
