Assignment 1.1: Research Questions

Most likely the digital country context analysis of your country has already been conducted and functions as your starting point.   

The purpose of this first assignment is to review the country context analysis report for your country and to determine any additional research questions that might involve looking at what is going on currently in the digital space. In the course of this module, you will continue to work with your identified research questions.  

• Locate and read your teams’ country context analysis so you are aware of what has been the starting point for your programme. (If for some reason your regional manager cannot help you accessing your local country context analysis, please have a look at this sample country context analysis for Burundi below.
