While there is much promise that ICT projects will contribute to improved livelihoods of Indigenous people (Table 1), without rigorous research on outcomes and impacts of initiatives aimed at achieving this, not much is known of the extent to which different community members have actually benefitted from ICTs and/or if there has been any adverse outcomes (Corbett, Singleton & Muir, 2009).	cache/ajis02-1076.pdf	txt/ajis02-1076.txt
