Our surveys are conducted by pro-poor sister-networks across the Global South with support from the International Development Research Center (IDRC) of Canada and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). With AfterAccess, the networks build on over a decade of experience in using rigorous research to inform ICT policy and regulation in their respective regions. The leadership team, comprising Alison Gillwald, Helani Galpaya and Aileen Aguero is steeped in the work of ICT market analysis and regulation in developing countries.

“The quality and richness of what is in the AfterAccess research means it should be widely read and should have considerable potential impact. If policymakers are to make effective use of ICTs they need to know what’s actually happening in their societies, rather than relying on a mix of old or unreliable data, hype and glib assumptions. They need surveys like these and they need to take account of what they say.”
