Dear Abhigyan
Marlon Parker has carried out research into the use of ICT and social networking to help manage drug addiction in Cape Town South Africa.
A summary of his work is available here and a conference paper here
I hope this is of assistance.
Kind regards

Dear all,
I am writing my doctoral studies proposal on the theme of interdisciplinary
research on crowd-sourcing in low-literacy and low-technology contexts in
emerging markets (India & Sub-Saharan Africa).
I request for pointers to research papers, links, case studies etc which
discuss aspects related to the subject. Some themes: Community Informatics &
Crowd-sourcing, Social Design & Actor Network Theory, Cultural dimensions &
design of ICT-Interfaces, research incorporating both 'real-world' social
network and 'virtual' social network, Ethics and Economics of
Crowd-sourcing, Social Capital & ICTD.
Your directions will be very helpful. If you are aware of any research
lab/university conducting similar research then please share the
information.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Abhigyan Singh
