ICT for Poverty Alleviation in Pacific Island Nations: Study of ICTs4D in Fiji There has been a vague and little knowledge on the role or potential of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) in relation to addressing poverty in Fiji.

Chinese Economic Activities In Sub Saharan Africa: A Substitute For Europe?, Ineke Keers, Bartjan J. W. Pennink Dr.
The South East Asian Journal of Management

Because natural resources, especially oil, appear to be a driver for Sino-African trade this study focuses on oil-importing and oil-exporting African countries. The group of oil-importing African countries is formed by South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya. The oil-producing countries …
