Abstract
This article addresses forms of Internet use within the framework of a developmentproject. Through use of a case study of four telecentres set up by the Acaciainitiative of Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), thearticle presents the theoretical claims of Internet use for development anddetermines the impact of the Internet on members of Senegalese economic andpopular organisations. In this sense, the telecentre project reflects the tendencyof international development to regard the Internet as a new and efficient strategy.However, the article asserts that only concrete uses demonstrate the role of theInternet in development. Traditional Internet uses – electronic mail and navigation– do appear. However, the results show a broader dimension of use that includesthe appropriation of the telecentre itself and they advance the recognition ofthe presence of traditional communication as a complimentary element to Internetuse. The article concludes that the local context and culture must be integratedinto Internet use as a development strategy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
