Abstract
This position paper argues that we should set ourselves the Grand Challenge of creating tools that people in the developing world appropriate for their own purposes. I suggest that one such Grand Challenge is a tool that makes all telcos obsolete. Our allies in this might be the mobile handset manufacturers. I also argue for community based values and methods that em¬brace the egalitarian principles of Action Research. I point out that Monitoring and Evaluation Tools are useful as a metric for development projects but need to be adapted for ICT Design.
