Context

• Rise of non state actors in governance• New public management

– Hollow state, ICTs– Importance of integration

• Egovernance– Biz, NGOs, Citizens, provisions of entitlement &  services & information

• Rise of telecenters

Intermediaries

• Projected dis‐intermediation & realities• ICT intermediaries• Need of human intermediaries to bridge the information gap in using ICTs– Ex: Soochak in Gyandoot– Need to be local, ICT skills & trusted

• Why community has to trust the intermediaries?

• Whether replaces the earlier mechanisms?

Trust• Discussion limiting to intermediaries • Types of trust

– Thick, Thin, characteristics‐based, process‐based, institution‐based. 

• Giddens– ‘Trust’ in ‘dis‐embedding’ ‘Abstract systems’ as part of modernity

– Access points of abstract systems are meeting ground of facework and faceless commitments

– Telecenter operator ~ facework

• Trust, doctors & telecentersVignesh 5

Case

• Akshaya– Adequate user skill level, easy physical access, local content

– Mallapuram Dist. 

• e‐literacy, e‐pay, • 249 interviews – all stakeholders (FRIENDS, KISSAN)

• Presently – statewide implementation & additional services.

Trust & service• Thro e‐literacy program – operator is known to most of the families

• Trust in govt as institution and govt. driven project

• Egov service delivery– Making payment (active | e‐pay)– Getting entitlements (NA – backend not ready, but operators undertook, govt. printed  increased trust, print from telecenter skeptical)

– Information (lack of trust on agri, health)

Trust Cont…• Additional observations• FRIENDS –

– E‐pay– Preferred over conventional centers– Trust high  due to trust in institution ‐ govtoperated

– Despite lack of awareness how money paid is transferred via computers

Trust Cont..2

• KISSAN– Web, TV, data center, kiosks, Agricultural officers (AO)

– AOs used extensively – translator of expert knowledge to local understanding

– Mediation of information flow between experts and farmers – yellowing of coconut leaves

– Similar trust is not there on the telecenterintermediary for agri related info. 

• Health mapping in Akshaya– Request for a medical person– Simple medical tests (BP, sugar) – not preferred

Implications

• Level of participation ~ trust in abstract systems & their access points (doctors & AOs)

• Importance of institutional membership of intermediary to be effective

• Just ‘local’ intermediary inadequate• Multipurpose telecenters – problematic• Egov as extension of established institutions
