Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Mbuyisa, Busisiwe Leonard, Awie
Abstract	This study is premised on the understanding that Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) are the cornerstone for socio-economic development in developing countries. This paper reports on the literature review conducted on the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) usage by SMEs on poverty reduction from a developing country perspective. The first section of study looks at the role of ICT usage on SMEs. The second section investigates how the use of ICTs by SMEs can enable poverty reduction. This paper concludes that ICTs can be used as a tool for driving socio-economic development, such as poverty reduction. A systematic literature review on the relationship between ICT usage by SMEs and improvement in poverty levels, as conducted in this study, has not been undertaken before. This study will benefit scholars, business owners, government and non-government agencies that focus on the development of the SME sector to understand the role of ICT usage on SMEs towards enabling development outcomes such and poverty reduction.
