Dear CITO
 
As you may already know, the Routledge textbook, “Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) <https://www.routledge.com/Information-and-Communication-Technology-for-Development-ICT4D/Heeks/p/book/9781138101814> ” has just been published and is available in physical or e-book versions.
 
There are three main elements to the book:
*	Foundations of ICT4D: ICTs and development, infrastructures, design and implementation best practice.
*	ICT and development goals: economic growth, poverty eradication, social development (health and education), good governance, environmental sustainability.
*	Emerging development models: development 2.0, data-intensive development, open development.
The book uses extensive in-text diagrams, tables and boxed examples with chapter-end discussion and assignment questions and further reading.
 
Online resources (slide packs, session outlines and notes <https://www.routledge.com/Information-and-Communication-Technology-for-Development-ICT4D/Heeks/p/book/9781138101814#eresource> ) support use for teaching and training purposes, and inspection copies can be requested for those planning to adopt the book as a core text.
 
I am happy to answer questions about use of the book and materials for educational purposes.
