Abstract

There is a gap in the existing literature in exploring comprehensive capability needs and degree of functioning achievements of indigenous people living in developing nations. This study offers a nine-dimensional 43-item statistically valid, and reliable model that captures capability and functioning achievement indicators as perceived by the indigenous people of Bangladesh. Also, the paper investigates the extent to which the impacts of capability dimensions on functioning achievements change concerning the degree of use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) by the indigenous community. The methodology of the study is based on 1741 primary data collected by way of a survey and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling. Results revealed that effects of seven out of eight capability dimensions on functioning achievements had improved significantly due to the higher use of ICT. The study also revealed that frequent use of ICT could reduce the degree of vulnerability among the indigenous poor.
