Key Points

The aim is to explore why ICT4D research often fails to produce positive outcomes by proposing context-specific theorizing.
Analysis of existing literature on ICT4D failures and successes.
Development of a framework to understand contextual factors affecting outcomes.
Identification of key barriers and enablers within various contexts.
Highlighting multiple factors contributing to the lack of success in ICT4D initiatives.
Proposing that tailored frameworks can enhance understanding and application in diverse contexts.
Suggesting that context-specific theorizing can lead to more effective ICT4D strategies.

Implication

Theoretical exploration addresses failure drivers in ICT4D, implying a need for tailored approaches.

Abstract
