Includes bibliographical references. In recent years, mobile phones have become increasingly enmeshed in the daily routines of communities across the globe. This exponential swell of mobile teledensity in developing nations, especially in rural areas, gives evidence to mobile phones as being a contributing factor towards social and economic changes in local livelihoods driven by agriculture. In this study, any economic upgrading is organised under the concept of overall social upgrading. This dissertation investigates such evidence by exploring the social effects from the use of mobile phones through two agricultural extension projects in Uganda. 2015-01-10T13:30:04Z 2015-01-10T13:30:04Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11967 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
