SamenvattingIn May 2003, the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) convened a meeting to examine issues of ownership and partnership in ICT-enabled development cooperation. Questions discussed concerned the different types of ownership that need to be developed, and how IICD, and organizations like it, can promote and foster high levels of local ownership. In many ICT projects there seems to be a gap between discourse and action. Partly this is because we work with multiple stakeholders and don’t yet have suitable language and ways to value different contributions. We don’t have effective ways to establish partnerships with the necessary checks and balances and mechanisms to ensure that they respond to the needs of both sides. Vital relationships – among stakeholders, and among partners – need attention. Moving forward means focusing on processes of building ownership via multi-stakeholder partnerships. As important, we need to invest in ways to make such ‘multi-stakeholdership’ effective and ownership-friendly. A number of guidelines and principles for creating ownership is listed.
