Abstract
AbstractInformation technology for development (ICT4D) is embedded in complex socio-technical contexts. This presents challenges to resilient and sustainable of the ICT4D interventions. The problems is partly rooted in the lack of fully understanding context of the local development practices and transform it to resilient and sustainable interventions and in the gap to understand the relationships between context, resilience, and sustainability. The purpose of this research is to address how context, resilience, and sustainability relate to each other. The research draws empirically from the literature to develop propositions to show how the concepts relate and from review of the extant literature and qualitative data collected from a local agriculture extension information service to support the claims. The results contribute to theory by conceptualizing the links between context, resilience, and sustainability and inform practice through the recommendations made on how resilient and sustainable socio-technical information systems interventions be approached.KeywordsContextResilience and sustainabilityThe socio-technical context of ICT4D interventionsResilient and sustainable ICT4D interventionsSocio-technical ICT4D
