Making Research Count

In any part of the world, developments in information technologies (IT) and economic development are moving targets. It is well established that there is a close relationship between the two and that the former often acts as a catalyst to the latter. For example, the recent rapid penetration of smart mobile phones in developing economies has been linked with improved government and business services e.g. ebanking such as large sums of monies do not need to be carried by citizens from one location to another thereby avoiding the risk of robberies. Citizens can perform direct transfers using their mobile phones and can get instant messages from their banks through alerts on their phones.
