“…Some benefits associated with the new media include improved risk communication, improved health education, knowledge acquisition, participant mobilization and empowerment, and service exchange as well as delivery (Airhihenbuwa & Obregon, 2000). Even so, internet services are still unavailable in most rural settings within Africa, compared to those of the advanced nations, where progress is significantly high (Adeniji, 2010). It does not necessarily mean that if such channels have been effective in one setting (western context), so will the case be in other settings.…”

This descriptive study set out to verify the Kenyan women's knowledge of the various risk factors associated with breast cancer, their preferred framing of the breast cancer messages and their preferred channels for receiving those messages. Three hundred and ninety-three (393) women aged 20-64 years from the Kisumu County of Western Kenya were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings revealed that (a) information deficiencies in relation to breast cancer is a factor that needs to be addressed, (b) gain, loss and mixed frames are used and (c) the most preferred sources of information were radio and health facility personnel and, to a low extent the internet and television. The study recommends that it is prudent for the women to voluntarily seek the right information for them to make informed decisions

Poverty eradication is one of the three major battles in our country at the present stage and is a common subject for world development. It is the key to study the dynamic evolution model from poverty, poverty alleviation to wealth. This paper analyzes the causes of poverty from macro to micro, from the regional breadth, and extracts ten factors of poverty. Combined with the dynamic evolution model, this paper puts forward that "root" culture is the key to prevent the return to poverty and realize the stable eradication of poverty, and puts forward the strategy of cultivating the "root" culture of the poor people in the university library, which is of great significance for the realization of stable poverty alleviation in our country.

This study is intended to gain a better understanding of the use of ICTs from several developing countries for the purpose of developing agricultural economics and poverty alleviation. From the lessons learned, it is expected to get opportunities and challenges that must be addressed in relation to the use of ICTs for the development of agricultural economics and poverty alleviation, especially in Indonesia. The literature study method from several developing countries shows that ICTs play a role in helping farmers in decision making, in terms of planting and harvesting time because this is important in agricultural development. In this case, ICT empowers farmers with productive assets and marketing, increasing their productive capacity so that reducing their poverty status. Affordable ICT services in rural communities have played a very strong role in improving the economic conditions of the population that contribute to the rural economy. ICTs have the potential to be effective instruments in supporting poverty alleviation. In Indonesia, ICTs have not been used properly for agricultural business development because of the low level of education in agricultural business households and access to information on internet media. To overcome the information gap for rural households/ communities is to make the extension officers more effective, accelerate the development of telecommunications infrastructure in order to strengthen telecommunications signals, and provide continuous support to rural farmers and agricultural businesses.
