Abstract
One of the significant determinant factors in relation to stakeholders engagement in development projects is the degree of their role. Sustainability of a project has a relationship with stakeholders' involvement. However, in the ICT4D domain, there is a lack of insight, literature, theoretical models, and framework to understand stakeholder perspectives. In recent information systems literature, it is argued that there is a lack of formally capturing stakeholder perspectives and lack of knowledge related to stakeholder interactions in relation to sustaining ICT4D projects. This research-in-progress paper aims to explore this issue and attempts to address this gap by proposing a theoretical framework on how sustainability-related issues of ICT4D projects can be better understood through the lens of stakeholders theory and capability approach.
