Abstract
How much can you do with a computer if you are not able to read or write like many people in Africa? This paper discusses the preliminary outcomes of a study into how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be made more usable for low-literate youth in Africa and help to empower their lives. It is based on fieldwork undertaken in Ethiopia in 2006 and 2007 and focuses especially on the challenges associated with designing and implementing such fieldwork, as well as some preliminary results.
