Our tenth (and currently final) eDevelopment Briefing - 
"Sustainability and the Future of eDevelopment" - is available 
at:
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/dig/briefings.htm

It summarises the what, why and how of e-development project 
sustainability, focusing particularly on three key factors: 
capacity, utility and embedding.  The briefing ends by 
contrasting short- and long-term perspectives on sustainability, 
leading to a muse on determining the future direction of e-
development.

In the run-up to the WSIS-Tunis, Development Informatics 
Group at the University of Manchester released a series of 
these Briefings: very short (one-two page) overviews of current 
evidence and thinking on key issues related to ICTs and socio-
economic development.
