ICT Update, an ICT4D bulletin published by ACP Agriculture being also a Cooperating Organization of the ICT4D dgCommunity, has recently published a special issue on Refurbished Computers. Introduction: Specialist charities and businesses, and increasingly computer manufacturers, are taking old computers and shipping them out to organizations in developing countries whose budgets do not stretch to the latest models. Some, such as Computer Aid, collect donated computers, refurbish them, and then ship them directly to their partners. Others, such as Computers for Schools Kenya or SchoolNet Namibia, buy old PCs and refurbish them, and then pass them on to schools and colleges where they can last another three or four years.
