This thematic brief describes the work that IICD and local Burkinabe organisations have been implementing since 1997 to bring about ICT-enabled development at the grassroots level. It includes short case studies on: using television and puppetry for market price information services, strengthening the production and marketing of women's shea products and imprving linkages in the shea value chain, the establishment and use of a community radio station for women-led community development, and using grassroots multimedia to enhance rural sanitation and hygiene.
