This paper critiques the assumed link that telecentre literature makes between community participation and telecentre success. It provides a review of the perspectives of the impact of telecentres, discusses the notion of community, factors of information system evaluation, stakeholder analysis and its relationship with participation, and finally the author provides a critique of telecentres in relation to participation.
