The introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to remote and isolatedindigenous communities in the forested interior of Borneo has generated desirable development benefitsfor them as well as revealing the processes of community engagement that were necessary for bringingthem about. Associated learning has also highlighted aspirations for development that relate to thespecifics of their cultures and lifestyles in relation to the natural environment in which they live, lendingcredence to the concept of ethno or indigenised development in contrast to notions of asset exploitationexpressed within orthodox development. The emergence of the global Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) with their imperatives for protecting biodiversity and the rainforests as well as combattingclimate change focusses greater attention on the role of indigenous peoples as stewards of fragile ecosystemsthat are highly susceptible to global warming. The experiences of applying ICTs to indigeniseddevelopment within Borneo’s rainforest communities - helping them maintain eco-friendly lifestyles,conserve biodiversity and record their traditional knowledge about the climate - carries lessons ofglobal significance for the wider achievement of the SGDs and the future of our planet.

Malaysia's eBario project has had a seminal influence on policy and professional practice in ICT4D for rural development, especially for remote and isolated communities of indigenous minorities. Direct impacts have delivered benefits for improved skills, incomes, health, education, cultural preservation, agriculture and social communications for participating communities. Wider impacts include influence on national policy-making and the operation of development interventions as well as providing important insights into the conduct of ICT4D research that seeks to improve the lives of marginalised and underserved communities.
