The infrastructural reason why there is a lack of effective ICT there is because they just dont have a budget for it, there are much more important things for such places to worry about before they consider the digital revolution.

There most pressing need is to enter the 21st century and update their means of recieving and using ICT, this means they need to put in place the neccessary infrastructure to allow the people that already have computers or are about to have one, can recieve and have a good connection at their dispossal.

Computer aid projects have helped africa to modernise itself, in that they have made computer systems more avaliable to everyone, Microsoft for example introducing the $100 laptop to help increase the ammount that Africa and such places have at their dispossal.

They have failed simply because there is a lack of knowledge about the systems they have, they may have a laptop but that doesn't mean they know how to use it. They got the right idea, just not the correct way to implement it.

The main areas that are lacking in computer skills, are things like programmers, engineers, and people just are lacking the most basic skills of all, browsing the net, writing a letter.

Many business's have just abandoned using ICT at all, becuase they do not understand the basics, that and there is no one able or willing to show them.
