ABSTRACT

The field of information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) is driven by the conviction that ICTs can be used to improve peoples’ lives. Yet, it often faces criticism related to the negative effects that are associated with ICTs. Instead of viewing these as arguments against ICT4D, this article presents an integrated approach to incorporating them in our conceptualization of ICT4D impact. For this purpose, we envision a framework that is grounded in the interrelated set of Sustainable Development Goals, which make the complex interdependencies between different development goals explicit. By mapping the potentially harmful impact of ICTs within this network of goals, this framework provides a point of reference for holistically conceptualizing ICTs’ negative impact through the lens of policy coherence. Based on this framework, this article discusses, how to conceptualize ICT4D impact, taking into account the multidimensional implications for the environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainable development.

通过可持续发展目标的整体视角重新思考“信息通信技术促进发展”的正面和负面影响

摘要

信通技术可用于改善人民生活的信念推动了信息和通信技术促进发展领域的发展。然而,它经常面临与ICT相关的负面影响有关的批评。本文没有将其视为反对ICT4D的论据,而是提出了一种将其纳入我们对ICT4D影响的概念化的综合方法。为此,我们设想了一个以一系列相互关联的可持续发展目标为基础的框架,该框架明确了不同发展目标之间的复杂相互依存关系。通过在这一目标网络内绘制信息通信技术的潜在有害影响,该框架为通过政策一致性的视角全面地概念化信息通信技术的负面影响提供了参考。基于此框架,
