This research was conducted as part of the Strengthening Information Society Research Capacity Building Alliance (SIRCA) III program and is funded by Information and Networks in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, a partnership between the United Kingdoms Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and Canadas International Development Research Centre (IDRC), under the Networked Economies program at IDRC.
We would also like to acknowledge two SIRCA members, Yvonne Lim and Sandy Pek, whose contributions were critical to this volumes success.
At IDRC, we thank Catherine Bienvenu for copyediting the manuscript, and Nola Haddadian, publisher, for providing invaluable assistance in publishing our manuscript. We also appreciate the contributions of MIT Presss Gita Devi Manaktala, editorial director, and Mara Isela Garca, acquisitions assistant, to the publication of this volume.
The Strengthening Information Society Research Capacity Alliance (SIRCA) program ran for over a decade. What began as an intensive mentorship program for Asian scholars soon expanded to include members from across the globe. Driven by a passion for social change through the application of information and communications technology (ICT) in developing countries, SIRCA scholars have demonstrated outstanding influence. They have shifted ICT4D (ICT for Development) discourses and taken up leadership roles within their institutions. Now, following the end of SIRCAs third iteration, we have successfully developed and tested a more concentrated research model focused on a central objectiveto build the field of open development. Focusing on the impact of digitally enabled openness in reducing global inequalities enables SIRCA to bring our transformed program design into effective action.
In 2015, we began theorizing open development by centering on whether, how, for whom, and in what circumstances does the free, networked, public sharing of digital (information and communication) resources contribute toward (or not) a process of positive social transformation. Six teams of leading scholars developed white papers, which were released to the public to enable external researchers to build research proposals for investigation. An additional six teams of empirical researchers were selected in 2016 to put our theories to the test.
