This review paper examines the theoretical frameworks for assessing the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on development, focusing on telecommunication infrastructure projects in Africa and the U.S. A comparative analysis highlights the socio-economic and technological disparities between these regions and their implications for telecommunication development. The paper discusses various theoretical frameworks, such as the Digital Divide Theory, Technology Acceptance Model, and Capability Approach, and their applicability to evaluating telecommunication projects. It emphasizes the importance of context-specific strategies, digital literacy, and cross-regional collaboration to enhance the developmental impact of telecommunication infrastructure. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers and suggests areas for further research, particularly in developing adaptable frameworks that address regional challenges and opportunities in telecommunication development.
