	abstract = {In this paper we search for answers to the question: Can information systems development (ISD) in Africa by African IS practitioners contribute to human development in Africa? More specifically, we ask if everyday ISD practice in Nigeria can contribute to
 people{\textquoteright}s health in Nigeria. We summarize the results of European-African research collaboration spanning more than 15 years.
 A spectrum of research methods was used from 1998 through 2001, including a survey on software industry (N = 103), a survey
 on IS education in universities (N = 26), five case studies in industry, and reflection on action in a university-based project.
 An industry profile of software companies and their ISD practice is presented and contrasted with the education available.
 Implications are drawn for ISD practitioners and methodological lessons identified for IS research in general. In the discussion,
 the view is expanded from Nigeria to other African and developing countries.

	abstract = {We argue that the currently dominant methods in Information Systems are not satisfactory for emancipatory research and development whose starting point is work. Activity theory was proposed as such an emancipatory research-cum-development approach in IS a decade ago. However, the potential identified in the theory has not fully materialized. As our own contribution toward making activity theory more operational in IS, we present an elaborated framework, ActAD, and review our experience in applying it to descriptive research, practical analysis, and constructive research. We claim that in order to fully unleash the potential of activity theory, activity-based methods should be developed further for IS requirements analysis projects and IS implementation projects, as well as for facilitating software development. The most appropriate way of developing such applied methods is through collaborative action research in real-life information systems work{\textemdash}the information systems practitioners developing their own work through activity analysis and development, with researcher participation.},
